Increased road inspections – “Safe August”

Safe-August

The next Wednesday, August 15 – another public holiday this year. As always, on such occasions on the roads of the entire Masuria, an increased number of policemen will watch over the safety of travelers, carrying out preventive and control activities of “Safe August 2018”. First and foremost, the officers will take care of the flow of traffic on the main communication routes, especially in places of significant impediments.

From Tuesdays to Thursdays (14-16 August), police officers will conduct increased checks on the roads. Then, the preventive and control activities of “Safe August 2018” will begin in Masuria. The officers will pay special attention to those offenses that the drivers are most likely to cause for safety in traffic. The policemen will check first of all whether the drivers do not exceed the permitted speed whether they are sober, whether children are transported in a correct manner, whether the technical condition of vehicles poses no danger to the travelers and whether the reflective vests are put in the car.

On all these days, video recorders installed in marked and unmarked police cars and the latest generation of radar speed meters will be used very intensively.

As the holidays are still in progress, coaches transporting children and young people will be subject to special supervision. Police officers will not forget about pedestrians and cyclists paying attention to how they move on the roads and whether bicycles are properly equipped – especially in lighting, in the evening and night time, like a vest with reflective materials or reflective tapes.

At the same time, we would like to inform about the ban on the traffic of vehicles and vehicle combinations with a permissible maximum weight exceeding 12t.

The best protection of the apartment is a kind neighbor. Before leaving, it is worth, so ask that person to pay attention to what is happening at our apartment. Let us entrust to our neighbors or trusted friends the keys to our home. Let’s ask them to open the windows from time to time and turn on the light in the evening, take advertising magazines from the wipers and take out correspondence from the letterbox.
