Agents of the Civil Guard of Traffic
focused last weekend their efforts in giving protection to cyclists on the
busiest roads in this group in the province.
Specifically, special interest was
placed on the N-120 and OU-402 roads, which connect Orense and Reba davit along
both sides of the Mino river. In addition to the roads OU-103, OU-108 and
OU-1096, between Macadam and the Sanctuary of Os Milagros and the roads N-120,
OU-504 and N-541, between Orense, Reba davit and Caballing.
During these two days, agents
distributed reflective
vests provided by the
Junta de Galicia, through the Galician Federation of Cycling, among those
cyclists who did not wear high visibility vests.
It was also used to raise awareness of
those who traveled by bicycle on these roads that must comply with traffic
regulations, respecting the traffic lights, not making use of sidewalks and
pedestrian crossings when riding on the bike and advising them to make use of
cycling jerseys. Bright colors or high visibility reflective fabric, so
that drivers of other vehicles can identify them as far in advance as possible.
On the other hand, drivers were
reminded that, especially on weekends, many cyclists are on the roads of the
province.
