Cycling safety clothes for preventing traffic accidents

The Spanish clothing brand specializing in premium cycling equipment El Maze, with roots in Toledo in Santa Cruz de la Zara, has launched a new collection of safety clothing under the theme Respect focused on preventing traffic accidents and awareness of cyclists and drivers of Need for mutual respect. The fact is that this project is being carried out at a time when there is a considerable increase in the number of road riders.

According to their promoters, the range, consisting of jersey, culottes, cap, gloves, socks and waistcoat aims, without renouncing the design, to remind all the road users the "priceless value of respect", at a time when Traffic accidents "are multiplying their notoriety worldwide" with celebrities as famous as GP motorcycle champion Nicky Hayden or the winner of a Gyro Michele Scarping.

50% of the profits from the sales of this equipment will go to the Stop Accidents Association, a non-profit organization founded by relatives and friends of victims of traffic accidents. The NGO will allocate these funds to the organization of bike and road education workshops in various schools in the Spanish geography.

"The road education is not only essential, but our best tool to avoid traffic accidents in the future. In our workshops, we encourage the use of bicycles as a means of transport and in the future we can make responsible use of them on the streets of the city, "says Ana Novella, president of Stop Accidents.

An icon that symbolizes respect

The #Respect range combines fluorine and reflective elements with an increasingly shared identity between cyclists and drivers: a large arrow that refers to the meter and a half of distance that should leave the cars when overtaking the bikes. "It is not so much a reflective element as an icon that symbolizes respect, doing things right. More than a demand is a feeling of pride, to know that you are on the side of the good, those who follow the rules and enjoy their passion, "said Gonzalo, spokesman for El Maze.

"That's why," he adds, "we are proud to collaborate with Stop Accidents, an NGO that has been struggling to reduce all kinds of accidents. It has done a very good job, but all help is small and we want to play our part to fight against this great scourge of society: the traffic accidents. "The sets are designed for the practice of road cycling and MTB with high temperatures, with last generation reflective fabric, tight sleeves, breathable sides and non-slip rubber on the bottom.

El Maze store comes from the blog El Tie del Maze that several cycling lovers created years ago to tell their adventures, talk about this sport and share their passion. That's why they took the technical clothing line, tested and high quality.

Transit Authority initiates inspection of school buses

The safety equipments inspection of school busies began on the morning of Monday, February 13 as reported by the Transit and Land Transportation Authority.

From 8:00 am, the ATTT inspectors in reflective vest are in the parking lots of Rommel Fernandez Stadium, in the Juan sector. In the province of North Panama, the operation takes place in the parking lots of the Chillier Gymnasium and will conclude on Friday, February 17th.

The Road Safety Coordinator especially to pedestrians

Police officers and policemen will create joint patrols and go to the streets to talk with pedestrians to equip some reflective vest or tapes.

See, you survive! This is reported by police officers together with the Road Safety Coordinator especially to pedestrians. They will head to the streets this week and address pedestrians who need reflection signs. Police statistics speak clearly. The crash of the pedestrian with the vehicle usually protects the driver by not seeing the pedestrian or suddenly running into the runway.

The most risky groups are mainly seniors. The latter have the advantage over others that the garments and school briefcases have been reflexively labeled mostly by the manufacturer. Skolt does not forget even the smallest. For several years, the smallest in kindergartens have reflexive vests on common walks. And try to reach even the creeping fellow citizens who are especially small on the weekend in the evening.

"The most risky group is seniors. They think they have absolute priority and do not look to the right to the left, "says Tomas, head of the district department, and this group of people go in clothes that are mostly inconspicuous colors and shades and lack reflective elements. And they will address pedestrians, giving birth in the form of small animals, tapes, stickers, smiles, and of course all the aids contain reflective elements.

"I am always waiting at the pedestrian crossing, when the arriving car stops. I never go there without a look. The shining tape on my coat would probably not mind, "said one of the senior maids yesterday afternoon, who crossed over to one of the busiest intersections at the Town Hall.

"Delivering things is one thing. However, the dialogue with addressed citizens is also important. That is why we are going to be among them, "explains Bissau, as he has stressed several times, it is important to see and be seen, and participates with Bessie and spends ten thousand crowns on the event. The pedestrian has seen himself as a driver at the last moment, especially in the fall, winter and dark, "says councilor Jan.

"The event will run until Sunday. This weekend can be a problem with moving pedestrians leaving restaurants, cafes or bars. We try to reach out to you too, "says Petri, who tells police the crisis times from 6.30 am to 7.30 pm and then in the evening from 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm Last year there was a collision of a vehicle with nine pedestrians five of these cases happened, others in surrounding communities.

"Of the five, four were aged 14, 18, 56 and 67 years old. The men were 76 years old, "said police spokeswoman and her colleague Hanta from the city police pointed out that the protective elements had been given away earlier." The seniors received a security package; all children in their mothers are equipped with reflective safety vest marked with kindergarten.

Police respond the plan for city safety

Today, the guest of the online interview of the Boleslaw was Chief of the Police of the Republic of Poland, who wear a reflective uniform. The readers asked him not only why he was interested in the position, but also about what changes in the city he is planning.

How do you like the position of Chief of the City Police? As far as I know, you worked as a line guard before, so that's probably a big difference...

The work I'm doing now is very interesting, but it's also challenging. Yesterday before I was elected to the City Police Chief and subsequently appointed by the city council, I worked for seventeen years as a line guard. The difference in both positions is that I have a greater responsibility in this position. This means not only communication with citizens within the service, but also a lot of administrative activity (budget, services breakdowns, etc.) and communication with city management.

The city police in Munich Hardiest had never had a good reputation according to citizens. Is it true? And what have you done to improve it?

As in any other city, there will be people who will be dissatisfied with the work of the city police, but I think most of the people who can appreciate our work predominate. Therefore, to improve, we have done a few things. For example, security precautions for children and pensioners are taking place, we have set up a Facebook profile to allow police officers to communicate at any time, staffing has also been modernized, and overall we are trying to improve the view of the city police.

I heard you'll get one more policeman and reflective vest, so you should be nine if I'm wrong. Is this the optimal number for you or would you need the officers even more? Yes, at the present time, a tender for the position of a police officer is announced. The number of officers should therefore increase to nine. In order for the city police to manage what is required and what they want to do, the optimal number of officers would be at least twelve. The main reason for the increase in the number of police officers is that we want to keep the traffic uninterrupted; another reason is the large cadastral territory and the ever-increasing traffic in the city. It is also necessary to devote more time to preventive action.

Recently, a group of people we are afraid of at the train station at the train station. In the summer, we always went out for a walk with the kids, but now we prefer to go elsewhere. Please make this site safe again.

The officers devote themselves equally to all the parks in the city. Their checks are carried out at regular intervals. Currently we do not see this site as dangerous, but it is possible that you could see this site as dangerous beforehand due to the occurrence of so-called problem people, but we have succeeded in eliminating this site from our site.

Why did you apply for a new Chief of Police at the Tender? There is a lot of talk about the fact that the new composition of the town hall has great demands on the officers, and that's why your predecessor ended.

It is true that the current management of the city places great demands on me and the officers, but I am not competent to express myself to my predecessor. I have enrolled in the selection facility to improve the overall view of our city police.

Are you getting in the new position in the field, or are you shut down in the office and you're doing clerical work, or maybe in the service you jump off colleagues when they cannot?

It is true that the new position requires me to devote more attention to administrative work, but I still try to work in the field. And since the number of officers is low, I normally have to do the work of a line guard.

We are currently preparing a contract for the provision of radar for speed measurement and we will try to start measuring the speed of the vehicles as soon as possible.

How often do you check the city area? Sometimes I see that if you arrive, you just slow down and you will not get out of the car. I understand that the cadastral territory you are in charge of is vast and you cannot be everywhere, but it does not avoid criminal activities in the villages.

Compared to the previous period, the police officers started to drive more often to suburban areas, three times a week. Control is preventive if the officers do not record offense, so they check this area only from the vehicle, but sometimes these areas are also walking

I heard you got new uniforms. What's different and why the original ones were not enough? What did you do with the old ones?

Yes, we have new uniforms. It varies with its functionality, material and appearance. The policeman feels more comfortable in this uniform; the new uniform is multifunctional and meets all the requirements that a police officer can spend twelve hours in this facility. Old uniforms did not fulfill their functionality, parts of equipment such as jackets and shoes are still being used. Shirts and trousers, neckties were removed.

It is almost entirely the rule that new leadership always introduces changes. Will you also change things or have you changed? What can we look forward to in the city?

Some changes have been made, they are put into practice. In the future, we are going to measure vehicle speed, carry out controls on alcohol pouring for juveniles, we will also be giving out reflective tapes, and we are going to make more frequent playground controls.

Municipality distributed reflective tapes to people

Whether the inhabitants of Patria walk to the office, the railway station or the shop, there will be no need to walk along the edge of the busy first class road. There are pavements with reflective sign in the village lying along the main road in Ostrava. The self-government of their construction is about to go, but the enormous financial difficulty is a hindrance.

The footpaths in Peter are missing, for example, Jana, who goes to one of the houses along the main road behind his son. "There is no place to go. When the car goes, you have to go to the same region to keep you from picking up. Or jump into a trench, "says the older woman.

On some stretches of the village, they allow even a seventy-kilometer speed. According to Jan, however, drivers do not obey the places where they are ordered, or the usual fifty.

"They're going here like fools. Sometimes police in reflective vest are here at the stop. But when drivers do not see their car, they do. Rosina is fascinated by the fast ride, "said Jan.

In recent years police in Patria recorded two accidents involving a pedestrian. Both became at night or in poor visibility. The management of the village is aware of the need for a pedestrian and bicycle trail and works on its preparation. "The problem is a huge financial challenge. From the elementary school to the Sabatini railway station, it is about seven kilometers of a mixed cycle path, "said Jan.

The communication manager with the village also breaks down in the view of the permission of seventy-kilometer speed. While the interest of road managers is to speed up transport, the municipality is more concerned with the safety of its inhabitants who have to walk along the road. As a first step she therefore bought and distributed reflective tapes to people.

"During the course of March all the inhabitants have been given them, from infants to the elderly," added Mayor.

Police in reflective vest check the cyclists with alcohol

The police in reflective vest together with the Brewery and Malt Association organized an event on the bike path. Everyone who set off on the afternoon on Wednesday, on the 13th of July at the Vagrancy cycle track, police officers took a breath test for alcohol under the "I drive, I drink non-alcoholic" event, for the whole afternoon they were unable to catch anyone who did not pass the test, but in most cases, That the bicycle is not fit to ride, including the bicycle of the author of this article.

"We organize a joint event with the Brewery and Malt Association, Bessie. We are responding to the constantly increasing accident rate of cyclists and to the fact that a large number of cyclists who have had an accident were under the influence of alcohol, "says police spokesman Ivan, pointing out that there is an alternative to alcohol in the form of non-alcoholic beer.

Clean beer

Everyone who did not care, the organizers handed over a bottle of non-alcoholic beer, a disposable alcohol tester and a reflective tape. Not everyone was excited about control, and many were not afraid to let them know. "One gentleman stood all the time on the spot and watched silently in the sky," she described the silent defiance of one of the police spokespersons, Ivan, who was in the process of meeting similar actions with worse reactions.

Otherwise, people liked the action, although they mostly heard complaints about the state of the wheel. Often, only reflectors were missing, and the cops solved the misconduct. This was also the case for an author, and also for sympathetic mothers with a child in the seat. "The wheel is a husband," she said, referring to the lack of mandatory equipment.

Police officers also refuted the frequent myth that alcohol on a bicycle could mean losing a driving license.

"We transfer all offenses to administrative proceedings to municipalities, but there are no points or loss of driving license, but the penalty is between two and a half to fifty thousand crowns," adds Ivan.

I did not expect so many people. "Could you please stop for a moment? A security incident is taking place, "one of the officers asked me, of course, I obeyed his prompts, I was breathing and the device showed zero," You are using a vehicle that is technically ineligible, you can impose a block fine of up to two thousand crowns on the spot. I immediately chilled my other policeman after seeing the round on which I arrived.

I missed the white reflector at the front and the red at the back, but the policeman solved the problem once again by appointment. I got the beer and alcohol tester. The reflective strip on my arm, as well as the others, was attached by Mayor. I have also tried "drunken glasses", simulating vision with alcohol in my blood. It has been overwhelmingly strong with my own eyes and I shared my doubts with Bessie.

"When you drink or take some medication, you do not see the change, it comes in gradually. Here in the glasses the change is sudden, "explained the regional coordinator, the non-alcoholic beer I received was, unfortunately, the room temperature, which in the afternoon meant that it did not contribute to the refreshment twice, and here I see for the organizers room for improvement in the future.

They started out on bikers with reflective vest

The obligatory reflective equipment of bicycles this week was targeted by the police officers of the preventive information group of the Municipal Police. They checked the bikers walking along the swimming pool.

To check the cyclists, a patrol of patrollers went to the area. Unfortunately, it did not impose fines, but it gave free cyclists, who did not have their bikes in order, free reflectors, reflective tapes, or cycling maps.

"The smallest cyclists who had a protective helmet on their feet, who is under the age of eighteen, have received a reflective vest from the police, because the road is subject to the rule of seeing, but mainly to be seen," Kano Municipal Police spokesman Froehlich said.

And what's the mandatory bike gear? Two independent power brakes, a front white reflector, a red rear reflector, an orange reflector on both sides of the pedals, a side mirror on the wheel rails, a grip on the handlebars, and an end of the levers covered with energy-absorbing material, and a closed wheel nut. Under reduced visibility, the reflectors must be replaced with white and red light.

"With the preventive checks of cyclists, the Blades will be able to meet again several times before the end of the holiday," the police spokesman added.

the tourist stamps, magnets and reflective tapes

Tourist stamps, business cards, magnets and reflective tapes - these items are most often bought by visitors to the City Information and Tourist Center, which is located on the ground floor of the Slim City Hall in Namaste Mire. As spokesman informed Zlin.cz server, this year, the Info center will also offer several new features.

Promotional items offer dozens of species to the Slim Info centre. "We have books, postcards, tourist stamps and visas, pencils and mugs. We also offer plums, plums, teas, or dried plums, "said Eva Manitoba in safety vest, head of the Tourism and Information Department of the Center.

The offer is getting better. The latest innovations are books by plane around the world with JA Bata or Tomas Bata in the memories of our vendors. "We have brochure Slinks architecture in Czech and English, and Tomas Bata’s book: Life and Work of the Economic will soon be available," said Jan, whose competencies include tourism.

The calendars are also available at the Info center for this year. Currently, a wall with the name Panicky Slim in reflective jacket, which consists of photographs of the city, is to be purchased. Their author is Josef.

Police have got new safety vests

The police introduced a new part of the uniform – reflective vest. They have two designs, reflecting mainly on traffic police and dark blue mainly for police order. New vests allow police officers to have their "mobile office" in their waterproof pockets.

Blue vests were given to the police about three days ago. A hundred samples will be tested by police officers in Prague, South Moravia and Moravia-Silesia. The reflective design was tested for three years. Approximately half a year is already used by the traffic police. "We currently have 2700 pieces," said Michal of the Directorate of Traffic Police.

Dark vests differ from reflexes. They also have additional buckles for attaching a micro camera or an extra pocket specially designed for a mobile phone. There are also pockets for pencils, blocks, radio, gloves, knife and other accessories.

"Previously, these things were carried by the cops in their pockets, which limited them and did not look good. Now they have virtually everything, such a mobile office, "said police Chief Martin.

The police wanted not only to boast new safety vests but also introduced them for people not to be surprised and did not ask whether they were actually police officers. This has also happened in the past when a new gear was introduced.

Reflective tapes of the Regional Project Safe

Three municipalities with extended powers (ORP), which are Pelham, Hum pole and Pico, acquired from Shire Highland reflective tape that among their inhabitants is distributed in various ways.

Retractable reflective tape with the logo of the Regional Project Safe Highlands city Pelham devoted, for example, children from primary schools and kindergartens run by the city Pelham.

Tapes that people should use when moving outside of the village in reduced visibility, you cannot just pick Pelham in two places. "Other reflective tapes are available for free to anyone interested in the Tourist and Information Center on Masaryk Square in Pelham and the registry of the Municipal Office Pelham on Prague Street," said Jadish of the Department of Internal Affairs Municipal Office Pelham.

Representatives Pelham had for its citizens to have nearly 38,000 tapes. "The number should cover roughly eighty-five percent of active road users," spokeswoman Ditka region.

"Several thousand tape of reflective material that we have for the entire district from region got; now we distribute to children through various organizations, such as schools and kindergartens. In the near future we will have a meeting with the micro-region where boxes with ribbons given out to individual mayors of the municipalities, so that they gave away their residents, "said Mayor which path for expansion of reflective tape elected. He revealed also that over the next week will be able reflective tape from the local information center and take people from the general public.

Several thousand reflective tapes sent to the college. "Representatives of municipalities have reflective tape arrived at the Municipal Office. Other tapes were distributed to children in local kindergartens and schools, institutions and organizations. There are also tapes in the library and information center, "the mayor enumerated Jixi.

Highlands region purchased 427,000 of reflective tape. Way distribution but had purely gifted cities. “Region is not the only one handing out reflective bands, similar activity, but to a lesser extent also prepared the Czech Police and Road Safety Organization (Road Safety)," said Ditka. See and be seen is the basic rule of safety on the roads.
