First exclusive photos of the new radar site Careful motorist were able to photograph for the first time the cab of the new radar site. These pictures with reflective element were taken in the Doubs on the A36 in Agincourt, i.e. a few kilometers from the headquarters of Cudgeled Sod Alsace France Comet, the company that won the procurement of radar sites.
As seen, the cab is mounted on a trailer and it looks like a faired motorcycle trailer. This allows it to be easily moved to suit the specifications that require an installation in less than 30 minutes. The cabin is bigger than cabs tested in 2012 but ultimately more discreet. It will be a little less during commissioning, since the cabin will be equipped with yellow and black retro-reflective tape on all edges of the front and rear.
To reduce vandalism, the radar was fully integrated in the screen room. To prevent the car being “stolen”, the wheels are retracted and secured the arrow shaft when the cab is in service.
As we have presented, radar Vitriolic Polis can that will be installed in these cabins is already approved by cons, the cabin is still in development, and the final version should be completed in June. Reflective accessories are necessary. The first radar site should be installed early July for major holiday departures on the A10.

On the way to school, 75% of parents are careless
Do what I say not what I do. “This classical education is unfortunately also applies to learning good road safety actions according to a survey Opinion Way commissioned by the insurance group Insurers prevention. In this new study, 75% of parents with safety vest surveyed admit to having had a risk behavior in the street, in school or extracurricular trips, in the presence of their children.
“People lack of vigilance on the road, said Nicolas Moreau, President of Insurers prevention. September is the time to make resolutions and set the example for his children. ”
Especially since the imprudence of consequences can be dramatic. In the past five years, it is 2500 pedestrians were killed. Because they are smaller and less visible to drivers, because they are not always aware of the risks, children are particularly vulnerable. In 2012 and 36 young pedestrians fewer than 15 were killed and nearly 2,500 were injured.
The Insurers prevention study shines a spotlight on the dangers of mobile which most cannot manage to win. Even accompanying their children, 58% of parents and already market their ear phone, 42% send or read their text messages and 23% in their eyes on the screen of the damn machine to check apps or games. It is a new risk behavior that emerges from five years falls insurers. “In everyday life we are not necessarily aware of the dangers of these behaviors,” says Nicolas Moreau. The proof, when mom and dad again become hen entrust their precious offspring with a third on the way to school, they are only 14% and consultant to the nurse or grandparents to drop their phone!
Yet, and this is another lesson of the study, when they entrust their toddler to a third party, the French are much more anxious. 54% of them give advice on safety rules. But six out of ten parents cannot provide the daily journey to the temple of knowledge. And among the councils, the vast majority (64%) recommends not cross with their little one on the crosswalks, they are nevertheless more than half (54%) do not always follow. Parents with reflective element also advocate a majority (52%) to walk on the sidewalk, while over a third (37%) admit sometimes walk on the floor holding their child’s hand.
Surprisingly, the study also reveals that the French are first trust their families for school and extracurricular trips. Not surprisingly, they are more likely to be reassured when their treasure entrusted to grandparents (50%) more than the nurse (13%). Even siblings, often children, have parental preference.
Explain, educational way, the rules to be observed as borrow pedestrian crossings; cross when the “little guy” is green; not to run, etc.
In the city, more of a pedestrian killed in three easts on regulatory white stripes!
As long as the children have not mastered the rules of caution, watch for them and accompany them.
Lead by example! Children mimic the behavior of their parents.
Make your little visible. Grab them with a backpack or satchel with reflective strips and dress them with light. At night, they will be identified and over 150 m instead of 30 m. namely, the months from November to February are particularly deadly for pedestrians, mainly because of poor visibility … while in car and motorbike, its summer, which presents more risk.
Study insurers Prevention The way to school, September 2014 conducted among a sample of 1009 meets representative of the French population.
Québec city request pedestrian wear reflective vest
Chantal Lévesque / Metro Vela Québec believe that the City should raise awareness among other regulations prohibiting pedestrians with reflective clothing on bike paths.
Entered into force in December, a regulation that bans electric scooters, joggers and pedestrians cycle paths seems unknown to the population deplores Vela Québec.
“I always see electric scooters driving on the tracks, says the CEO of Vela Québec, Suzanne Laree. Obviously, there are people who do not know [that the rules have changed] or who ignore the rules. ”
Laree also believes that the City should raise awareness of the new regulations.
The settlement comes “confirm the need to make available the Montreal cycling network to key users for whom it is primarily intended and designed: inline skaters and cyclists,” according to the City.
Wheelchairs, motorized mobility aids and some electric bikes are also permitted.
The regulation also clarifies the definition of an electric scooter, which is no longer allowed on bike paths throughout the city.
Tickets are also provided for those who do not obey the rules: $ 30 to $ 50 for a first offense, $ 50 to $ 100 for a second offense and $ 100 to $ 200 for any subsequent offense.
The Police Department of the City of Montreal (SPVM) is claimed to have asked officers with reflective element not to give tickets under this regulation until September. Agents are instead encouraged to give verbal warnings.
“When there is a change to a regulation or new regulation, we ask the police, of course, to exercise judgment in the application, and asked a kind of buffer period, said the Inspector André Durocher, of Highway safety Division. There may always be exceptions where we will issue [an offense], but generally asks to not issue. ”
For Suzanne Laree, the real security issue, it is the electric scooters. “There is a security issue here, which is not the case with pedestrians. [Pedestrian], it’s annoying, but not dangerous, she believes. I’m not against electric scooters, but in bike lanes, it does not work. This is a vehicle that is bigger and heavier than a bike and goes faster.
For Zvi Leve, Montreal Bike Coalition, pedestrians in reflective vest should not necessarily be banned from cycling trails. He does not believe that the law will be applied to them. “I do not think the crackdown will work. Rather find a way to live together, he considers. I do not see how it will be applied. “
Safety jacket with refletive tape
Although we have for the right moment to back rather mild season even can run in short shorts and some maillot afternoon, it will not last.
Come sooner or later the time comes to put on, for several months, long shorts and thermal safety jacket.
Castelli Passo Giau jacket and long shorts Velocissimo could well accompany you during these months when temperatures do not exceed 15 °, since both products are designed to operate between 5 and 15 ° C.
The Paso Gaius jacket available in 3 colors and is sold € 149.90.
A rather reasonable price for a technical product, except fall lasts a few years.
Combining Windstopper X-Fast fabric on the upper torso and shoulders, Wind stopper X-Mid on the sleeves and lower torso, and Warmer fabric on the back, tire scheduled for a cool time. Catelli gives a minimum temperature, which I have seen in effect with a simple vest. For colder outputs 0 °, it will add one more layer to be comfortable.
It’s a jacket that is worn close to the body. Good point for sleeves that is long enough. If you wear long gloves, the cold air will not rush at the wrists. The neck back as high to isolate the neck and prevent air passes.
3 pockets present in the back are wide and very deep. What store extra windbreaker or other bulky accessories?
I only regret that for a jacket dedicated to winter, there are no more reflective element on the back because it is limited to two small “tabs” at the outer pockets.
The lining is arctic, which ensures feeling of warmth and softness. The insulation on the front is very good and helps to not feel the cold, even at high speed.
Size side, it took me a size L, as for all my winter jackets.
Good surprise next rate since it Velocissimo 2 is sold less than 100 € and is available in 6 colors.
As the Paso Gaius jacket, Catelli announces optimal operating temperature between 5 and 15 ° C. But hardier will definitely wear it to 0 ° C.
Kiss chamois is of excellent craftsmanship. This is often the technical point that stalled on affordable shorts, but this is not the case here.
The anatomical design and seamless ensures real comfort, while the dual-density foam ensures very good shock absorption. Even on the outputs of nearly 4 hours, I did not have to complain of pain or irritation.
Retaining strips (GIRO3) are present around the ankles to keep the tights perfectly in place. Zippers (YKK Cam lock) ankles allow it to easily slip on shorts and provide good support when pedaling. These closures are fitted with reflective tape.
The fabric is soft and elasticity make the Velocissimo 2 is forgotten, this is far from true of all long shorts.
Hand size, it took me a size L for my 1.78m and 72kg.
Take reflective vest to ride in the rain
Stay calm when the sky is falling on your head: how to brake, accelerate, turn, behave …
For that every fall, unlike the leaves, the bikers are not shoveled
The wonderful feeling of freedom that we encounter on a motorcycle is partly because no other vehicle makes such a connection with the outside environment. The downside: the weather sometimes challenges us in our place by making us aware of our smallness against the unleashing of the reflective element. With the approach of the bad season, here are our tips for the motorcycling remains a pleasure even in the rain and your journeys, short or long, are carried out safely. Before departure, it is of course important to check weather forecasts: to govern is to foresee.
Adhesion: twice less grip.
And to keep vehicles on the ground, one of the most effective solutions lies in the rubber, a magical product based on natural rubber. There are other solutions, particularly with synthetic rubber (very commonly used on motorcycle tires) and the future holds mixtures of dandelions or biomass.
Short. Our tires stand because they generate a friction on the ground. The nature of friction is different in the case of wet asphalt. What does the teratology, the science of the study of friction? That the coefficient of adhesion of dry bitumen is from 0.6 to 0.8 and it falls in a range of 0.3 to 0.4 in the case of wet asphalt. To be clear: there is twice less grip on wet than dry.
With a slight downside: all bitumen, however, is not the same. Some have a high coefficient of particle size (mu: μ) that will leave more easily stagnate water surface when the bitumen with a lower μ promote more flow. Reflective vest is necessary for everyone.The difference can be felt over a light rain, less if sustained, prolonged downpour.
Note also that in case of heavy rain after a long dry period, the fat particles infiltrated the floor rise to the surface (they are less dense than water) and, mixing with dust and gum residue, reduced to especially the bitumen adhesion power. It is therefore necessary to exercise caution.
Tires: not under inflated …
These are the tires that allow you to take the floor, so they appreciate that you give them some attention.
Rule number 1: tires, it inflates to the correct pressure (even a pouillème more for the wet) and the carcass works in optimum conditions provided by designers and allows grooves to be opened as necessary for a good discharge of water.
Rule number 2: try to “finish” your tires in the winter because you will take less angle is a bad idea. A worn tires 50% seen its performance deteriorate by 20% and in the rain, you need the full potential of your tread. You have any interest in mounting new tires in the fall, to dispose of their performance potential in the bad season, even finish the edges in spring, provided the selected tire has even wear.
Regarding the performance of the tire, it is necessary to distinguish the ability of the tire to heat up (for the carcass can work correctly) and the sculptures to drain the water. On bitumen that wicks water well, if little rain, a sports tire is still relatively efficient. If this film on the road, you have to evacuate. While some manufacturers in reflective accessory offer “winter” tires for scooters, tire technology “all season” for motorcycle is a line of hard work. Some tires, moreover, openly claim their wet performance.
Finally, the tire will tell you it is important to have two tires of the same brand: the sculptures of the front tire are designed to shed water so that the rear tires to do its job.
Children’s road safety with reflective tape
As a small mouse, it has crept aboard midday walking bus that takes the last two years, students from kindergarten Suzanne Lanky in the canteen of Saint-Hillarie-Liz-Cambria. We’re taking you with us?
Get there a few minutes before the parents to see the silhouette of the two “conducting” the walking bus disappearing into the pretty kindergarten Suzanne Lanky, go around the class to recover the fourteen children who will eat at the canteen this midi then put them in working order, “and winter do take a reflective vest, because you have to cross a street to get to the canteen, it can be dangerous,” says Pascal De Never, graduated BAFA, municipal employee in reflective vest for six years.
While some of their classmates climb into the cars of their parents, they take the direction of the school yard. For it is there that this walking bus line starts.
There was first a red staircase to descend before to track slabs depicting colorful animals, skirting the cemetery to climb a new red stairs and drop finally hungry children safely. “Before the creation of the walking bus, remembers Pascal De Never, we had to make the turn, you pass the church, and we go through the cemetery. There are pebbles on the ground. The children were at risk of falling on the graves. The walking bus has secured the ride. He reassured us and saves us time. ”
The second line of podiums hand, at about the same time, primary school Joliot-Curie. This is Isabelle soling which the conduit. There are return trips, of course. And in the evening after school, a third line takes the children of the Joliot-Curie school daycare that is in kindergarten.
On our own line, right now, we advance. Pairs. Every day there are negotiations about who will hand Pascal De Never or Nathalie Proverb. “But some do not want us to give it all. They prefer a little fellow, who sometimes has already chosen another for the road “, says Pascal De Never. So there are little dramas but still adult ears to listen and then reassurance. Ethan precisely panics. He saw an insect to pass him; he is afraid of being bitten and continues to return to check an errant mosquito comes nibble. “The children speak to us on the road a lot, explains Nathalie Proverb. They tell us they have made animations in the morning, the outputs of the afternoon, all. “The link is even stronger than the two ladies are also involved in the canteen, plays games with the little ones before classes resume, and is also responsible for new extracurricular activities. Five minutes passed. The terminus is already stands opposite us.
An idea that is hard to take
It was a tempting idea, though. The walking bus, with its group of children take from one point to another is economic, ecological, for creating bonds between parents and children with reflective element. But it did not take.
At least, not outside the three remaining lines of Saint-Hillarie-Liz-Cambria. They were intended to get children to school from different points throughout the city. “It was for families to coach trips, explains Maurice Defraud, the mayor of the commune. The initiative was launched in 2013 by Jean-Raymond Wattles, his predecessor. But the habit of taking the car is anchored. ”
This is the same conclusion in Vineries. Four lines were implemented “in 2011 or 2012, remembers Laurence Prelate, mayor of the municipality. This is Michel Waller and who had this idea, he liked the innovative things. What was clear from the discussions when it was introduced, it was insurance issues. “The council is committed to defray insurance that would cover pupils and careers. But no accompanying precisely does volunteer to mentor schoolchildren. “In our town, we have many working parents without reflective tape on clothing, Laurence Prelate Advance as explanations track. They go by car drop their children at nursery or school before running off to work. ”
Rest of this adventure, scattered signs and hope that one day, take the walking bus.
Pedestrians and cyclists: In the darkness should wear safety clothing
Safety vests and special protective collar for children at TÜV Rhineland is necessary.
See and be seen, the motto of the road users must be in the dark winter months. “Especially cyclists and pedestrians are swallowed in the early morning and evening hours easily the twilight. You should therefore take possible light, best provided with reflective materials clothing to be perceived at an early stage of motorists,” says Hans-Ulrich Sander, motor expert at TÜV Rhineland, and adds: “good services vests, which are available in each TÜV Rhineland inspection agency.” Here, parents for their children and special reflective protective collar for pulling over. The trade also has reflectors in the most diverse forms as patches or buttons. For security reasons also make shoes with reflective tapes.
Motorists should pay particular attention to cyclists and pedestrians already before turning in the dark. “What is important here is the shoulder view. Only then it is ensured that no persons are in the blind spot,” says Sander. Pedestrians can also draw attention to themselves with a flashlight. In this aim the beam of light on the floor and never dazzle motorists.
Mandatory retro-reflectors on the bicycle
Cyclists should make sure that the lighting system of the Volos is correctly and intact. “While a conventional dynamo system is allowed, but much more security provides a continuous light – especially in the state,” says TÜV Rhineland expert Sander. In addition, the prescribed reflectors have the bicycle front (white), rear (red) and are attached to the pedals and between the spokes (yellow). In addition, protective helmets in good stead with reflective elements.
Rules for decrease accident and ensure traffic safety in South Bohemia
Already this year 60 people died on the roads of South Bohemia. Over the past year there were 63. The Regional Coordinator Be sip Vaclav Smith warns that the autumn fog and black ice comes a period when accidents on the road will increase.
Until decrease the number of accidents, will not subside even deaths on the roads, emphasizes regional coordinator be sip Vaclav Cover.
According to Cover it was due to improved cars. Now, however, we have reached the bottom, no matter how good the technology is already helping.
South Bohemian died on the roads already 60 people, while for the whole of last year it was 63rd.
Moreover, we are now waiting two months of hard, in terms of traffic accidents, as it unfortunately is related to the number of fatalities. Autumn weather brings a lot of accidents with pedestrians who are not sufficiently visible. That is now the subject of our campaign. This week we start with the police traffic safety event focusing on the visibility of pedestrians.
Pedestrian thus fall riskiest?
Yes, based on statistics from previous years, most of pedestrians dying between 16 and 18 hours just in this season. Due to the time shift suddenly gets dark at five o’clock instead of six drivers and pedestrians are poorly adapted to it, and then there is very often fatal accidents. And even at pedestrian crossings. We used to offer safety vest to solve this problem, but it didn’t seems help.
What will campaign?
We will endeavor in cooperation with the police to communicate directly with drivers on the roads. Because the reflective elements is insignificant when the car is off. If the vehicle is lit poorly or not at all, it does not reflect light reflex. We have made several commercials, which we will try to get to the screen in offices and other public places in the South Region. I have also arranged several meetings at schools and homes for the elderly.
How long?
We want to be long. Our goal is to significantly reduce the number of pedestrians killed. Over the last year throughout the Czech Republic were killed in traffic accidents about 65 pedestrians. We know from neighboring countries that adjusting the law, in which it stated that the reflective elements on clothing are required, reducing the number of deaths very aggressively.
In recent years the number of tragic accidents declined. But in the last two years there is again an increase. Does it think this statistical skew, or a trend?
The problem is that the steadily increasing number of road accidents. Every year it’s a nearly ten percent. The fact that we dropped the consequences of accidents; it is my only increasing the quality of vehicles. Cars are better in terms of active and passive safety features. Obviously, we have already reached a certain bottom, where it is not only the technical features of vehicles to reduce the number of tragic accidents. And with that, as the number of crashes will rise and the number of deaths.
So it is necessary to reduce the number of accidents?
If we want to reduce the number of deaths, we must first seek to decrease traffic accidents. The other things that can affect the consequences smashes such as better infrastructure, that they are secondary issues.
What would you think should happen? Tighten the imposition of fines?
Fines are matters of repression, we prevent sty, so we focus more on prevention. The problem is that this is precisely the long-term financially underpowered compared to the rest of Europe. But I feel that now dawning for better times, as Transport Minister is in favor of us. It should not say that, without preventive repression would not make sense. Certain increase in penalties would also help us. But mainly it is necessary to educate the whole nation. We have a big problem with arrogance drivers. But beware, as well as cyclists. Even the education they need. Necessary municipal police should patrol to cyclists moving routes, which are designed and among pedestrians.
The amount of fines is one thing. However, when an aggressive driver sees the road almost overtake cop, so it is probably not solve, right?
According to our statistics, the performance of traffic police in the South Region increased from year to year, although staffing tends to decrease. In this regard, I stand behind the police because they are trying to do the maximum.
It should not, therefore, be more?
You say it absolutely right. But there is another thing. For me, each policeman should intervene in the transport sector. I experience when I go over and see Budejovice offense like thunder around the police will pass and nothing happens. Had the matter on the spot immediately addressed, they should aggressive drivers to police certainly greater respect.
Children’s safety problem in Dubai
Asbestos problems are gone, kindergarten in September Due novelty
Dubai – Fancier kindergarten children are in Dubai thanks to complete insulation that the city was able to secure thanks to money from grants the State Environmental Fund and European funds. Building a kindergarten, where it is recorded altogether 73 children with safety vest, has a new facade, windows, doors and inside the new sills and window trim. The cost of the actual construction work, according to information at the Town Hall Due exceeded 7 million 990 thousand crowns. The good news for parents is among others the result of measuring the concentration of asbestos in the air object that is according Liberec Workplace Health Institute perfectly fine.
In some places in the village had been temporarily impaired water quality. The newspaper’s spokeswoman confirmed the company’s North Bohemian Water Supply and Sewerage (Suva) Deterioration of water quality and its slight cloudiness allegedly caused by heavy rains in recent days. “Tanks were withdrawn even on the same day. We took samples, which confirmed that the water is fine, “said Kardianová.
Northwest – Fuel in the Liberec region increasingly cheaper, even for pennies, and prices in the region are among the cheapest in the country. On a national scale, on the contrary, petrol and diesel will become more expensive, though also just pennies. Northwest has the cheapest fuel per liter on average CZK 28.07. Per liter of Natural 95 motorists will pay in the region averaged 28.96 CZK.
Czech Lipan – Injuries walker ended Monday’s accident in Dulbecco Street in the Czech Lipan. Peugeot driver hit a woman moving from the center of Czech Lipan, failed to prevent conflict, because the woman along with other people decided to go outside the crosswalk and before the bus is stationary at the stop. “The driver responded to a group of pedestrians in reflective clothing overturning braking and steering to the left. Conflict with the woman but has been unable to prevent. In place affecting paramedics transported the injured to the Liberec hospital for treatment, “explained a spokesman Lipan police Ivan Baláková. The accident occurred on Monday at dawn. The police made by the driver of a car breath test was negative. Additional blood sampling requested also in withheld walker.
The campaign “We see it?”
Czech Lipan – preventive safety action “We see it” breaks on Friday at 16 o’clock in the center of Czech Lipan. BESIP in collaboration with traffic police officers and constables are at pedestrian crossings near Andy handing out reflective tape in connection with the forthcoming law on the obligation to wear reflective elements.
Shopping bags with reflective stripe
See and be seen. The basic rule for pedestrians is on the road. Doubly true in bad weather or at night, wear reflective elements up to ten times increase the distance at which the pedestrian is seen. Due to the unfortunate experience of senior arise equipped hall in Jed u Bran all pensioners’ reflective stripe.
“We had a few unpleasant when even two cyclists died. Then there was also an incident with two small children, “he recalled Mayor Jed u Bran Jan Hardily (before.). After the municipality in cooperation with the police endowed schoolchildren reflective pendants turn came to earlier. “Thanks to the guesthouse we have multiplied the number of seniors, so they have more moves. After several incidents, we decided to help them, “added the mayor. Town Hall for the oldest residents of the village, therefore, had made 120 shopping bags with reflective tape.
According to a police spokesman Bohemia Alaska seniors are a risk group because they dress in darker colors. “I wear black pants and a gray dress. Similar colors but they are not visible from afar, “said Malaren. To wear reflective elements they want the police to convince the elderly and children as well as in the streets.
“I’ll be careful. Although it goes only one car, so I better wait until it passes. Nothing with reflectors although I have not yet, but the bag will wear it when I go somewhere in the evening, “she promised senior Ditka Fuchsia.”Personally, I do not go in the evening too, but perhaps grandson and the other children you have reflective elements – such as the legs,” recalled the previous security event hall Josef Role.
Reflective elements are mandatory maybe soon. At night or early in the morning, most of the pedestrians died on Czech roads. Due to the unfortunate statistics aspire police, traffic experts and the Ministry of Transport of the compulsory wearing of reflective elements. Getting should have prepared an amendment to the Road Traffic Act. Pedestrians would have to wear a reflective element or apparel when they will move in poor visibility along the road where there is off street lighting. Potential sinner’s police would be able to grant up to two thousand fines.
In many other countries, wearing reflective elements for pedestrian’s worth. For example, the Slovak Republic declined over five years the number of dead pedestrians from 184 to 64th.
