Yellow vests distributed to pedestrians and bicycles to avoid accidents

Since Sunday, October 28, it is night earlier, it will have escaped anyone. On the road or in the street, this loss of visibility always has consequences. The prefecture of Calvados and road safety will distribute visibility kits to pedestrians and cyclists, Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in Caen (Calvados), as part of the national operation "Bien Vu ensemble".

Yellow vests and reflective tapes

Inside these kits: yellow safety vests, reflective stripes to wear at the wrists or ankles and a yellow backpack also with reflective fabrics. The objectives are to raise the awareness of the most vulnerable road users: pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycles in particular. Every year, pedestrian accidents multiply during the transition to winter time, especially between 5 pm and 7 pm. Kit distributions are also planned in Bayeux and Lisieux.
