Organized by the Municipality of
Sračinec and with the cooperation of the Varazdin Police Station, on Thursday
evening in Sračinac an action "Safer in Traffic" was held to
encourage local municipalities to use legally prescribed safety equipment when
traveling on roads.
"We carry out this action
primarily for the safety of road users, pedestrians, and cyclists. Our
municipality is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Croatia,
with more than 400 inhabitants per square kilometer, and one of the busiest
state roads passes through Sračinec. That is why we want to prevent accidents,
which sometimes end tragically, by educating our fellow citizens. Last year we
had a fatal accident at a marked and illuminated pedestrian crossing, but due
to reduced visibility, the driver did not stop in time. That’s why today, we
share these reflective vests and straps and encourage pedestrians and cyclists
to wear them, for our safety. Thank you to the Varazdin Police Directorate for
initiating this action through the Prevention Committee." said the mayor
of Sračinec municipality Bozidar Novoselic.
A significant contribution to this
action was made by the employees of PP Varaždin, who stopped cyclists and
explained the importance of being visible in the evening and conditions of
reduced visibility.
About 60 vests and 60 reflective
tapes, which were
purchased by the Municipality of Sračinec, were distributed. In addition to the
Mayor of Novoselic and the staff of the Varaždin Police Station, Deputy Mayor
Krunoslav Lukačić and the newly elected Mayor of the Municipal Council Domagoj
Bacani participated in the action.
