With the coming autumn, cool weather and increasingly shorter days, pedestrians are very up-to-date reflective clothing elements. Since this year, it is also necessary to wear them for poor visibility when walking along a road outside the village.
Rake thinks so. "Now in the autumn I got something reflexive for the whole family, including my husband. Children have reflexive elements on their briefcases, but they do not wear it all the time, "said a thirty-three-year-old woman, bought them all the reflective tapes they usually wear on her legs, and the kids still casting them with a zip jacket.
The pedestrian, wearing dark clothing, noticed the driver at a distance of less than twenty meters. If he is wearing a reflective vest, the driver will see him at a distance of two hundred meters. This is because the material reflects the light in the narrow cone back to the source.
Reflective materials are best placed to the knees or to the ends of the sleeves and to the waist level. If people have only one reflective element, it is important that they are attaching to the side of the road and not hidden underneath the clothing. Purchases can be made for example in stationery, sports outlets, in a supermarket, but also in a shop, post office, or petrol station.
Since the end of February, there has been an amendment to the law, which clearly states that pedestrians traveling on the road outside the village must have reflective elements on their low visibility. They must be visible from the front and from the rear. The duty to wear is not only when the dark is falling, but also when the fog is raining or snowing. "We're focusing on the controls. Rather, we are betting on prevention. We are trying to warn people about these things, "said the police spokesman Bouie.
