GEIS MULTINATIONAL LOGISTICS GROUP SUPPORTS A PREVENTIVE ACTION FOCUSED ON RIDER SAFETY ON THE WAY THAT WILL BE CARRIED OUT IN THE STREETS OF BANSKOBYSTRICKÝ REGION. GIVES 4000 REFLECTIVE TAPES TO PEDESTRIANS.
Also in the light of the projected increase in road traffic during the Feast of All Saints, police will distribute reflective tapes to ensure maximum safety for all road users, not just during holidays.
"Preventive improvement of road traffic safety is a key issue for us, especially at this time of year. The risks of colliding with a pedestrian or cyclist are much higher. Overall visibility is impaired, making it difficult for drivers to recognize all road users clearly, especially if they are not properly labeled. That's why we've decided to support this event," says Marian Vaculčiak, Geis Chief Operating Officer.
A frequent cause of killing pedestrians and cyclists on the road is their poor visibility. The Road Traffic Act established an obligation for pedestrians to protect themselves with reflective elements or reflective clothing in poor visibility. If this is not the case, human life is unnecessarily endangered and at the same time, a person is threatened with a block fine.
The use of reflective elements in pedestrians and cyclists is not only vital at this time of year. "It is important to realize that seeing and being seen is important for all road users as well as for our couriers. We firmly believe that a common good intent to raise awareness of the importance of wearing reflective materials will contribute to an overall increase in road safety," said Dušan Vilhan, Geis Sales Director.
