Two-and-a-half thousand crowns can be expensive for the evening walkers on the road from Saturday. If they are not provided with reflective materials outside of the village under reduced visibility, they risk a fine. The amendment to the law seeks to reduce the number of people in cars.
In the first weeks of the amendment to the Road Traffic Act, the police will focus on prevention rather than pedestrians. "We are planning dozens of events in the region where we want to inform pedestrians of new duties and to give them objects in reflective design," police spokesman Pave Val said.
The first reflective tapes, bags, and reflective vests were handed out by policemen in Brno on Thursday. They stopped and informed about thirty people. "Few of them knew about the change in the law," said Swab, and recommended wearing well-visible clothing accessories not only outside the village but also within them.
The police action was also awarded by Dagmar, who took off the reflective tape. "When a man is in black on a gray asphalt, he cannot see him tonight," she said.
Information about the novel does not extend to South Moravia only by police officers, but also by schools. For example, in elementary school in Brno, teachers are explaining new responsibilities to pupils these days. "Many parents did not register the law at all," said director Jana Craiova. She added that they had made good visible elements for school events to lend to the pupils.
The amendment to the Act requires pedestrians to use reflective elements in the case of poor visibility while walking along the roadside or on the outskirts of the road outside the village. According to be sipped, the visibility of the reflective material is two hundred meters at night, while a blue-haired man can see at a tenth of a distance. At ninety kilometers per hour, the car's braking distance is about forty meters. "We, therefore, welcome the obligation to wear reflective elements," said Region Coordinator be sip pave.
