Pedestrians who walk outside the built-up area after dark must wear reflective clothing. From September, reflections for pedestrians will be mandatory. There was not much left for the tragedy. Mrs. Alicia from Lodz was traveling with her husband for a holiday to the countryside. It was dark; the road was winding and narrow.
We were driving a hunchback and the car had no super-light. It was a communal road, access to the village. There was no lighthouse here - says the Lydian. - I was tired already, but we were almost at the end. Suddenly, some 30 meters in front of me, I saw a group of people. They walked the middle of the road, they did not have any flares, and they were all dressed in black. I did not have a chance to see them before. The road was winding and I noticed these people only when I left the next bend.
Fortunately, Mrs. Alicia managed to slow down.
They were also scared, some of them escaped to the side of the road. This would not be the case if these people were better visible. Therefore, it is very good that the rules will change and everyone both children and adults will have to wear high visibility vest - says Mrs. Alicia. The new regulations enter into force on August 31. With the new school year, every pedestrian who, after dark, will go outside the built-up area, must wear reflective elements. Reflectors must be placed in visible places on the clothes - emphasizes the younger aspirant Marianna from the traffic department of the Municipal Police Headquarters.
Everyone, regardless of their age, will have to wear them. Until now, only children up to the age of 15 had to wear reflective elements. The new regulations are to improve the safety of pedestrians on the roads. Reflective elements in many cases save life. An exception, when you do not have to wear a reflective vest, there are places outside the built-up area, where there is a pedestrian road, or a sidewalk - says a younger aspirant.
