Without reflective accessories, pedestrians or cyclists on the roads are unnecessarily risking. Mainly under bad light conditions, drivers are poorly visible. Reflective elements were also recently received by schoolchildren in the municipalities.

 

For example, Race, who goes to fifth grade at primary school, praises a useful gift. “It’s super. In the morning I go to school myself, I think it will help me, I will see more, “he recounts. Just like eighteen hundred other children from the region on Thursday, he received reflective tapes, handcuffs, and briefcase.

 

Safety features were handed over by representatives of Hyundai, which has been working with thirteen local communities around the place thanks to the Good Neighbors program. “This year we have arrived with a traffic safety project, starting in the autumn, so it will soon dim, the morning is still dark. Reflective elements increase the safety of pedestrians many times, making it an effective contribution to active child safety, “says Petra, spokesperson.

 

Police officers welcome such activities. According to them, reflective elements come to the awareness of pedestrians and cyclists who can save their lives. “It is obvious that education is important. People are aware of how to protect themselves, “says Daniela of the Regional Police Headquarters.” We assume that children will learn to increase their security from their parents, school, but the more they repeat, the more hope they get they remember it for the future. ”

 

While cyclists remember the law, pedestrians do not have the obligation to illuminate or to designate a reflective supplement. BESIP experts, however, warn that a black man sees the driver at night seven times shorter than a pedestrian with reflective clothing does. “Any activity for child safety is welcome from us. We have other news, the village has built paths, there is a new pedestrian crossing in front of the school,” says director school.
