From 1 September, pedestrians going after dark outside the built-up area will be required to wear reflective elements. How important this change was argued during the “Reflection” action on the Poznan Tor.

Police statistics on the autumn-winter period are absolute. – Half of the fatalities on our roads are pedestrians. Sometimes it is a miracle to avoid tragedy – says Raffia, provincial police chief in Poznan.

Statistics cover all deductions: both day and night, people with and without reflectors.

– The highest number of fatalities is in the 40 to 60 age group. They are people who have not yet had to wear reflective vest. The youth already had such elements, notes Picot Florey, the governor.

The importance of making changes can be seen on Tuesday evening at the Poznan Tor. It shows the distance from which the driver sees a moving column of people with and without reflective elements at night. The second presentation consisted in counting mannequins while passing.

How much does it give you a retro reflective safety vest, and also an experiment by TVN 24 reporter? Pedestrians with a glare are visible from almost 100 meters, while a man in a black jacket appears in front of a mask unexpectedly, a dozen meters in front of the vehicle.
