I completely agree with the launch and purpose of the new National Transport Campaign without any malice or bias. As a practicing driver, I often encounter inspections, and hear and see penalties imposed on drivers by the police. But in the same capacity, I feel more and more that there are pedestrians – and not a few – who do not cooperate with traffic, or only partially cooperate. The most extreme example is when they run across the road between cars dozens of meters away from the zebra. Even those who know how to run, as you will often see an elderly person, often have limited mobility, even on a multi-lane road, carefully avoiding pedestrian crossings.
In order to ensure the safety and flexibility of transportation for these people and others, there is an urgent need to monitor and enforce rules for pedestrians as well.
This can be expected from them in the same way as it is expected from drivers, and this statement does not depend on age. After all, even among the representatives of the younger generation, there are a few people who violate the rules – those who run through red lights, those who crowd at zebra crossings. In connection with all this, it has already occurred to me that more emphasis should be placed on basic traffic training for young people and on updating KRESZ knowledge for adults and older generations.
