Haapsalu problem is the high curbs and blind intersections

reflective vest

On Tuesday, walked and drove Haapsalu Sanatorium Boarding kids with college students in the traffic through the streets of Haapsalu, the road to acquire knowledge and to find places where, for example, wheelchairs difficult.
Shortly before noon on Tuesday, the students shared the road sanatorium school teachers and students to wear yellow reflective vest and four groups started to move towards the route from school to college. One road ran along Tiedemann Street Bank and the other along the Enola, St. George’s and the soil of the street, the third and fourth herd-mailing Forest Street. Each group was accompanied by a couple of students, who explained to the children by traffic times and also pointed to shortcomings and photographed.
If Haapsalu main street, the sidewalks themselves are also fairly well liigeldavad people with special needs, the worse the situation is in the old town, where the roads are narrow and often even rough coating.
Remains a wheelchair liikujaile concern Haapsalu streets of loading and unloading places to travel anywhere in the city.
While many sidewalks are inclined, they end with locally higher edge, which is an obstacle to a wheelchair or kõnniraamiga movement.
Sanatorium school teachers, according to most places on the road to the sidewalk wheelchair pulled back in front, but it is dangerous – a child may fall off the sloping chair out of the driveway.
Even when the catalyst can be accessed on the sidewalk, people prefer to travel in a wheelchair on the carriageway; because you never can be sure whether it is to the other end of the walkway, or you can drive down the road do not have any unexpected obstacle.
Unexpected barriers can be classified under the major part of the road pavement itself down the stairs and taking the middle path mounted on lamp posts. A further example kõnniraamiga people headaches kõnniteesse recessed gutter, which should indeed be on the covers, but more convenient for maintenance, they are often taken advantage of. “Just as they do not interfere with pedestrians, but kõnniraamile these serious obstacles,” said Haapsalu college lecturer Margus Nigol traffic.
He added, showed the road journey to a mechanical wheelchair to move around the streets of Haapsalu keerulisemgi and kõnniraamiga electric wheelchair, electric wheelchair on uneven ground tends to easily capsize.
Sirli Leier road office, said that the city’s leaders tend to be in a car driven by people who do not notice the problems with pedestrians in safety vest. He pointed out that even the sidewalks for pedestrians, cars are preferred. For example, in many places, from the courtyard of the decline in driving on the sidewalk, the car would be more convenient to drive. Pedestrian, make them quite severe kuumaastikuks sidewalk.
Margus Nigol added that one of the small streets of Haapsalu trouble is the so-called blind intersections, where road users will not notice a car coming from another direction, and vice versa. These intersections do not have a problem not only for people in wheelchairs, but for all road users.

He added that the intersection ohutumgi have to cross the road junction between the pavement sections, which is good to see both sides.
The idea of ​​the trip was not just to find the city of bottlenecks, but also to teach children traffic share. For example, talked about how the sidewalk side of the road in the absence of the safest wheelchair ride, as well as on how the wheelchair to the car by the driver, whether it’s wearing reflective clothing in the car park or by raising your hand to signal to the driver of the car reversing lower the height of the movement means for noticing.
It also explained to the students how important it is before the gates of the courtyard and the foundations of the lever to make sure that there will not be any vehicles.
Traffic Rännaku the end point of the college were groups of phenomena-the experience summaries and highlighted the various problems encountered routes.
Margus Nigoli used, according to data collected by the traffic study of the “town of Haapsalu, Uuemõisa hamlet Paralepa and non-motorized traffic safety analysis”, which is also part of the people with special needs. They will also discuss the problematic places in the working meetings of the project and Rodale Haapsalu.
According Nicola usually sets things right justify a lack of money. “This can be understood when made in the past to improve matters there is no money, but the worst is that the freshly created things do not satisfy the requirements,” he said.
Margus Nigol said that the initiative for this came from the realization of events in a sanatorium school, but days worth of thoughts and observations using the students take advantage of the traffic study of the “town of Haapsalu, Uuemõisa hamlet Paralepa and non-motorized traffic safety analysis.”
After the article to the concerns of another one and serious: many houses and commercial buildings are standing on stairs u.15 cm. long metal spikes, which the owners are carelessly installed. They are also pretty close to the Great Sea Sanatorium schools renovated houses treppidel.Ning such as the Oak Street stairs in apartment buildings. It is a primitive and dangerous concierge, although the door can be opened, if necessary, to keep it in other ways. And if an accident fumbles and a spike in the head or per..e stands, the consequences are sad …
