It is not enough to see; you have to be also seen. Each pedestrian walking after dark outside such areas must wear reflective clothing or reflective armband.
Until now it is required to wear reflectors were only children under 15 years of age. - Now, pedestrian will be able to move without reflective elements only after dusk along the way intended exclusively for him or the sidewalk or in a residential zone. In other cases outside the built-up vest or any other reflective element will be mandatory, says Joanna Scent younger aspirant of the Pomeranian traffic police. - Pedestrian, who goes on a dark road without glare, is invisible. The driver is able to detect such a person only from a distance of 20 meters. Invest or any other driver could see the reflection of a pedestrian from a distance of 120 to 130 meters. Thus, assuming fluorescent clothing add yourself extra 100 meters and the time in which the driver has time to notice us, slow down and evade, Skeena added. With the new regulations are satisfied drivers. In an interview with a reporter of Radio Gdansk they pay attention to safety and difficulty seeing pedestrians on the road. - I remember once nearly hit some pedestrians. It was dark, I did not see him. Suddenly, he turned on the cell phone. I saw the light and fired. If this man had a safety vest with reflective material, it will be much faster, says the driver. Such hazardous situations occur daily. - I live out of town but work in the city. I arrive in the evening to work and I as pedestrians pass along the way. Not only that they are going in the wrong direction, it is to be unnoticed. Mandatory reflection surely improves safety, adds another driver.
For lack vests will be seats. That is not to punish but here it comes, but about that on the road did not die people. As says Joanna Scent of Pomeranian traffic police, on not enough to see, you have to be also seen. However, the police in reflective uniform did not intend to forgive those who forget about flares. No element of reflective outside built-up mandate will be punished with 20 to 500 zlotys. Or reflective vests can be bought at petrol stations, in shopping centers in the automotive department or clothing stores for workers.
