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.

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.
