Just like a number of other seniors and children, the free-of-charge reflective tapes distributed to the city police yesterday. “Every night when I come back home in the dark, I have to go along a road where there is no walkway and public lighting is weak,” she explained.

From grandchildren, he knows that clothes are already being sold, which is equipped with reflective materials from the manufacturer, but it is only for the young generation. “It’s expensive, too,” she said. “so much appreciated yesterday’s” gift “of tape-sleeved officers over her sleeve. “I’m going to feel safer on the way now,” she smiled with a noticeable calming voice.

One such happened at the end of last year. Without any reflective elements in dark clothes, a thirty-five-year-old pedestrian walked out, knocked by a 25-year-old driver. In the dark, the driver did not even see the man.

The alarming statistics of pedestrian crossings with cars were the main motive for Zinc police officers, in cooperation with the Zinc municipality, to decide on the situation with the observance of the principles of road safety for pedestrians.

That’s why a traffic-safety event took place yesterday in the morning, giving way to the children who went to school at the reflective ribbons. “We are currently responding to pedestrian clothes, especially children, which are often dark and without reflective elements. It is easily overlooked for reduced visibility,” Milan, director of Milan’s municipal police, said.

Besides children, elderly people and seniors also received the tapes. “These are groups of people who are most vulnerable to traffic on the roads,” added Milan.
