From early childhood, parents instill in their children the main rules of behavior on the road, tell when you can cross the road, and when you can not say that the most important thing on the road - this is care, not fidgeting.A study of traffic rules (the SDA) carried out sometimes in the form of a game: a quiz with questions in kindergarten, educational books and paintings, even the model of puppet traffic lights - all this helps the child to remember basic information, which is likely to be able to save his life.
Although the majority of the SDA is concerned, rather, a driver who is driving a car without a competent behavior of pedestrians while crossing the roadway, these rules would be meaningless.These updates occur every year (rare - several times a year), so much confidence in their security should be to monitor all road users.
Who are pedestrians?
right to say that they include all the people who travel on foot.If a man comes along and pushes the side of the road next to a bicycle - it is pedestrian.If it has stopped, I sat down on the vehicle and drove off - hence, has become a full participant in the road, in this case the cyclist.
recognized pedestrians: people traveling in wheelchairs or on rollers.As well as leading a number with a moped.Therefore, all will be useful to know the rights and duties of pedestrians.
It does not matter whether you have with any kind of transport - as long as you go on foot, you are a pedestrian.Here is an example.Even if the bus driver will come out of it to get to the nearest shop and buy drinking water, then while it will stand on its feet, it will be considered pedestrian.What follows from this?The fact that all the general duties of pedestrians and will treat him well.
How to behave on the road?
Parents should explain to their children at an early age, these bases.To learn how to behave on the roadway with other road users, it is necessary to look into the collection of the SDA.Responsibilities pedestrian there are described in a separate chapter, with convenient division into sub-items.It is necessary to organize information and memorizing.But many will be surprised, I began to read them.In fact, all of this information most know already from childhood.If
organize responsibilities pedestrian briefly and clearly articulate them, it can be divided them all into the following groups:
- rules of behavior at the transition of the carriageway;
- rules of conduct with vehicles;
- rules of behavior on the road in the dark.
What should know the pedestrian?
roadbed - not a place for games and thoughtless behavior.Knowledge of their duties and compliance will allow the passenger confidence to behave in the street.
list the responsibilities of a pedestrian on the road:
- if there is no sidewalk or pedestrian path, the move should be on the sidelines in the course of the traffic;
- cross the road only person required to transition or "zebra", if they are not - allowed to cross the roadway at intersections along the line the sidewalk or curb;
- if not controlled transition, that appear on the road a pedestrian may only after making sure of their safety, that there is a number of fast-moving car and it is time to go before it will drive the vehicle, and so on.
how to behave as a pedestrian at night?
There are certain responsibilities pedestrian at night.This knowledge is usually ignored, considering unnecessary formality.However, the rules of pedestrian traffic on the roadway at night are not written by chance.Most traffic accidents happen just at night.Silhouette of a pedestrian can be seen clearly that may provoke the driver to make a fatal mistake.
Responsibilities pedestrian while crossing the road in the dark when it concerned the presence of any object with reflective (reflective) elements: stripes on the jacket, T-shirt or shirt, for example.Driver never proglyadit such a pedestrian, even if he will stand in the shade.Now there are plenty of shops, ready to help people in this question: what only objects with reflective elements there is not for sale!
How to get out of public transport?
existing rights and obligations of pedestrians when exiting public transport.They must know each.Man, being at the bus stop, too, must understand their rights and responsibilities, which are set out in the SDA.Duties of the pedestrian during the exit from the transport made up to leave it only when you open the door fully.Do not hurry, do not push, do not jump out of the vehicle as soon as the door just slightly open.Do not ask the driver to make a stop in the non-designated place.This is important not only because of the fact that a stop for the driver himself can get a penalty.Such requirements are explained by the fact that the passenger can get under the wheels of another vehicle whose driver in this situation totally was not expecting your arrival in the wrong place and the bus did not have time to slow down.
How to cross the road after getting off the bus?
When managed safely exit the vehicle, you need to pay attention to the method of crossing the roadway.If you are traveling by bus or trolley, it is necessary to cross the road behind him, not in front.Trail riding cars should see your intention to cross the road.
If you cross the road in front of a pedestrian will be bus drivers should not be able to riding the vehicle in time to slow down and look at him.This may cause an accident.
also undesirable gathering of people at the bus stop.This applies especially morning and evening hours, when the majority goes to work.There is a danger that because of the crush of some of pedestrians can be pushed into the roadway.If the driver of the vehicle did not have time to react and reorganize, the situation would end in tears.
Frequent mistakes pedestrians
Often pedestrians neglect their duties, thereby endangering the order of traffic.But most importantly - they put their own lives opasnosti.Dovolno people often violate one of the basic laws of the SDA - cross the road only at the green light.Because of the rush, or simply unwillingness to stand in the cold extra minute until the traffic light does not change the color of the signal, they run across the road, not noticing at the same time, a light is on.It is unacceptable.
second, equally serious mistake that pedestrians - crossing the road in the wrong place.Cars have to slow down, missing the carriageway running man, but that happen, and the blame for the accident lies entirely on the pedestrian.
Dangers crosswalk
to pedestrians constructed in such a way that both he and the car drivers can feel comfortable.Since they will be included in a well-oiled machine traffic, where all participants know their place and move smoothly and confidently.But, unfortunately, the opposite situation occurs when there is violation of traffic rules, and the risk for man can carry even a special move "zebra".
Worldwide, this part of the road surface is one of the safest for pedestrians.But in Russia, unfortunately, not the case.Most accidents and impacts upon people is precisely to "zebra" because of the inability of drivers and pedestrians to behave reasonably.
pedestrian Responsibilities are to not to forget: "zebra" - part of the road on which the car ride, sometimes at high speed.Before turning the roadway, you need to look around.It may happen that, without noticing fast racing car, you start crossing the road, and the driver fails to brake.
Stepping one foot on the "zebra" pedestrian should stop.Thus, he will demonstrate his intention to cross the road and car drivers will be able to brake in time, passing it.
Road signs to assist pedestrians
Among the many road signs, there are those that can greatly facilitate life.This is also a pedestrian obligation - to know them by heart.
Once on a strange intersection, anyone looking through the eyes of a pedestrian crossing sign: man goes on "zebra" in the white triangle on a blue background.It shows permitted to cross the road space.
Slashed man in a red circle can only mean that the transition is strictly forbidden, as it may lead to life-threatening (too busy traffic on the street, for example).
sign underpass (man down the stairs) - also very useful.If the terrain unfamiliar, but you see this symbol, you can not worry about how to go to the other side of the street.
Public transport is also marked by road signs: bus, trolleybus or tram in a blue rectangle.Seeing such a symbol, you can stop and wait for the next carrier.
Teaching children traffic rules
As mentioned above, the child gets the basic knowledge about traffic rules in kindergarten or elementary school.But parents and his example must demonstrate the skills of correct child crossing the street.
sad to see my mother grabbed her son's arm, crosses the street on a red light.We must not forget that the roadway - this is not a playground for our children.It is necessary to teach them this, to instill the rules of behavior on the road and to remember them by.
Thus, the main responsibilities are defined in the rules of pedestrian traffic.They must be respected by all, without exception, and to remember that it affects not only a convenience, but sometimes life.
