we go all pedestrians, ie full participants in the road.When a person comes to visit, to work, to school, in all these cases it is pedestrian, and therefore, in order to ensure personal safety and the safety of others is obliged to observe the traffic rules.
According to statistics, half of the accidents occur on the road, with the participation of pedestrians, and it is a terrible figure.The main reason for all the troubles on the road - it's negligence.
Who is the pedestrian
As the rules of the road, a pedestrian is a person who is outside the vehicle on the road or on a bicycle, or footpath.Also, pedestrians are persons wheelchairs, roller skates, scooters and other similar vehicles.
cyclists while driving are members of the movement, but as soon as one leaves the bike, it becomes pedestrian.
Road Service Employees while working pedestrians are not and rules for pedestrians are not covered.
Pedestrian traffic on the road
In traffic rules clearly state that pedestrians on the road should move strictly along the pedestrian road or sidewalk.And only in case of their absence allowed to travel on the roadway.If there is no sidewalk, pedestrian or bicycle paths pedestrian safety rules prescribe move strictly along the right edge of the roadway, facing the traffic flow.
persons moving on a bicycle, moped or wheelchair should follow the course of the movement of vehicles, strictly from the right edge of the roadway.
When driving on the road at night and in poor visibility pedestrian safety rules require him to wear on clothing items with reflective elements.Such elements on the clothes help the driver to notice a pedestrian from a distance and in time to slow down.
Crosswalk
a full participant in the road are equally of drivers and pedestrians.Pedestrian safety when crossing the road or junction helps to ensure the crosswalk.
Crosswalk - road section specifically dedicated to safely cross the roadway, and the appropriate signs and (or) road markings.
Crosswalk can be regulated and unregulated.
- regulated pedestrian crossing equipped with a traffic light or on the available adjuster.If you have a regulator should podchinatsya its signals, regardless of the traffic lights.
- If there are no traffic lights or traffic controller, then the transition is considered to be unregulated.With a constant yellow light traffic shift is also considered unregulated.
Golden Rules pedestrian - crossing the road where there is a good view of both sides, and the ability to realistically assess the traffic situation.Good visibility is equally important for the driver and the pedestrian.
on the road often have unforeseen consequences, so it is important to be able to anticipate mistakes of other road users.It must be able to anticipate situations and pedestrians.
pedestrian safety on the road requires to be prepared, for example, a common situation where the driver does not miss an undisciplined pedestrian crossing or on a vehicle traveling at a high speed, no time to brake in time on a slippery road.
on unregulated pedestrian crossing the driver must give way to pedestrians, but this does not mean that you can throw right under the wheels of the car.Pedestrian must realistically assess the distance to the nearest vehicle and the speed of his approach, to ensure that the transition will be safe.
Cyclist crossing the carriageway at a pedestrian crossing, is obliged to get off the bike and walk.
Crosswalk is a place which should be very careful both pedestrians and drivers.
Public transport
main type of accident on the public transport system is run over pedestrians.
This is especially true for the urban environment, where stops are located close to each other.Difficulties and drivers are added, the park near the stops, thus further limiting visibility.
main reason for the raids is a violation of traffic rules by which a person is required to bypass the stopped at a bus stop just in front.Bypassing the bus from behind, the pedestrian does not see the full situation on the road.
Rush also often leads to tragedy.Aspiration during that whatever the cost to get to transport the traveler makes a person forget about the danger and rush straight under the wheels of cars.Most of these "races" end with severe injuries or even death.
Parental responsibility
child road traffic injuries are the most urgent problems of modern society.
At all times, parents were responsible for children.Crossing the road next to the adult, the child relies on him and watching the traffic, so adults must hold a child's hand.All adults must remember that the child learns the rules of pedestrian imitation of parents and other senior pedestrians.
should start as early as possible to inculcate a culture of child behavior on the road, explaining to him the basic rules and giving your own example.
By moving the two groups of children should be accompanied on both sides of the road, on the right and the left.Stand facing the need to accompany the movement with their hands red flazhkami.Prezhde you start moving on the roadway must stop a group that stretched system could regroup.Accompanying leave the roadway latest, after the whole group of children took place across the street.
Pedestrians in a residential area
to residential areas include not only roads located within neighborhoods, but also all the surrounding yard area.Normally, the beginning and end of the living area is indicated with a special sign, but in the courts of the mark set is optional.
Pedestrians on the road in a residential area have a right not only to move on the sidewalk, but the entire width of the roadway.The more often the case that in addition to the roadway is simply nowhere to go.
Despite the fact that in a residential area on the road, pedestrians are endowed with a priority on the move, you can not create unwarranted interference of the vehicle.
pedestrians prohibited
Safety regulations prohibit the pedestrian on the road, follow these steps:
- walk on the roadway without making their own safety and that of other road users.We should not forget that the main cause of most accidents with serious consequences is the sudden appearance of a pedestrian in front of moving vehicles.
- runs out or exit the roadway suddenly.Including a pedestrian crossing.
- Independent access of children to the roadway without adult supervision.
- cross the road outside the crosswalk, if any, within sight.
- detained and to stop on the roadway, if it is not related to traffic safety.
Rights pedestrian
Rights and obligations enshrined pedestrian traffic rules in the territory of the Russian Federation.
- at designated uncontrolled pedestrian crossing pedestrian prevail.Pedestrian safety requires a complete stop of all vehicles as soon as the human foot stepped on the roadway.The only exceptions are vehicles with spetssignalami.
- as an active participant Pedestrian traffic has the right to require the executive branch to create conditions for the safety of pedestrians.
Fines
list of violations for which a pedestrian punishable by a fine, fairly large, and should be aware of.
Fines are imposed, depending on the severity of the violation in the amount ranging from 200 to 1500 rubles.Ignorance of the rules of the road does not relieve a pedestrian from liability.
First, we should remember that red forbidding signal to cross the road is forbidden, and most importantly, life-threatening.For a violation punishable by a fine of 500 rubles.
If a pedestrian crossing the road in the wrong place interfering vehicle and through his fault the accident occurred, the penalty will be up to 1,500 rubles.
course, to impose fines in the amount of money is not so big, but nevertheless it is an administrative violation.
pedestrian safety
about their safety should take care of himself first and foremost pedestrian.Pedestrian safety depends to a combination of the actions of pedestrians and drivers, but it should be remembered that the injuries pedestrian, may be incompatible with life.
not necessary to hope that the driver everything he sees and hears.A man walking along the road or crossing the roadway, you should carefully watch the road and not be distracted on anything else.Safety pedestrian prohibit talking on the phone, listen to music with headphones, or wearing a hood, completely covering the side view.
Crossing the road, even in designated areas, it is necessary to make sure the driver sees a pedestrian, and time stops.The most reliable option - is to first establish eye contact with the driver of the vehicle, and only then begin the transition.It should be remembered that even a traffic light equipped with pedestrian crossing can not fully ensure the safety of pedestrians on the road.
To tragedies happened on the roads as little as possible, drivers and pedestrians in the first place to observe all prescribed rules and treat each other with respect.Disregarding traffic rules, drivers risk their freedom, and the pedestrian - health.
