Every year, there are 20 and 25 pedestrians in traffic according to statistics from the Road Safety. About 85 become severely injured and 540 have minor injuries.
Reflective believed to reduce the risk of being hit by 85 percent.
Today marks the annual reflection day across the country for the ninth time. Previously, we handed out reflectors in the center, but now we want to go there people actually runs along roads, leader Severe Borges in NAF department Gove and region.
According to NAF uses only one of four reflectors.
It comes to getting into reflectors use as a natural part when one is going out and walk in darkness, says Borges.
NPRA has prepared a report showing that about 20 percent of accidents involving pedestrians being hit happen when they walk along the road or a vehicle backs.
Nearly 80 percent of pedestrian accidents occur at crossing of roads, of which 40 per cent of these occur in crossings.
NAF fresh tests show that vest provides the best visibility. They provide about 30 percent better visibility than reflectors and ribbons.
Borges emphasizes that location is crucial.
It is better the longer they hang down. Reflective stripes on the legs give good effect. When looking motorists that something moves, he said.
NAF work a lot with traffic safety, particularly targeting children.
Children should know that cars do not see pedestrians or cyclists without reflector when it is dark outside, says Borges.
He says that adults are good at remembering reflex to the children, but they often forget themselves.
So here we all have a job to do, say Borges.
According to Safe Traffic uses 29 percent of adult’s reflex. They conduct annual surveys which have shown an increase of five percent among adults since 2010. Among killed and severely injured pedestrians without safety clothing shows the age distribution that over 18 years make up 80 percent.
Statistics from Safe Traffic also shows that women are better than men.
