Basic Rules of Conduct on the Road

The rules of behavior on the road must be clearly known to both drivers and pedestrians. Non-observance of the established norms can lead to very sad consequences. Most of the accidents occur precisely because the pedestrian did not know the precautions or the motorist decided that he did not have laws written. As a result, all participants of road traffic suffer from haste or simple negligence.

Rules pedestrian on the road

There are a number of rules that you can take care of when crossing the road. Let us consider different cases.

Night time

First of all, it is worth remembering the fact that in the dark the driver can notice a pedestrian no more than 10-15 meters. Given that a moving car can not make an instant stop, its stopping distance will be about 20 meters. Having made simple calculations, it is possible to come to a logical conclusion that in such a situation the accident is imminent. Therefore, it is recommended to make sure that the driver really noticed you and started to slow down. Remember also that the person sitting behind the wheel, can panic and not cope with the management of the vehicle. Therefore, you should start crossing the road at night only after the car has stopped completely.

Unregulated transition

Rules of conduct on the road include a section on the passage of the carriageway in unregulated areas.

1. Go to the edge of the sidewalk and stop, letting the drivers know that you intend to cross the road.
2. Pay attention to whether there is an island of safety on the roadway.
3. Wait until all cars stop at 40 meters from you stop or drive.
4. The rules of behavior of school children on the road, as well as all other participants in the movement require full vigilance. Therefore, several times look around and make sure that the roadway is free for movement.
5. Once you reach the island, stop and evaluate the situation.
6. If there is a possibility to cross the remaining segment of the road, follow the above points.
7. If the traffic is too dense or the drivers do not stop, gently step onto the roadway. In this situation, the driver moving along the nearest strip to you will be forced to stop. It is very important to just step onto the roadway, and not start the transition. In some situations, the driver can not stop, if behind him in a dangerous vicinity moves another car.

Adjustable transition

The pedestrian's rules on the road contain recommendations for a transition in the regulated zone. It is important to remember that even if the owner of the vehicle is completely wrong and moves with violation of all the rules of the road, this does not mean that you need to climb under the wheels of the car. It is better not to risk your life to prove your own rightness.

When crossing the road at an adjustable intersection, it is recommended:

• To draw attention to whether there are any "drivers", "pilots" and other irresponsible drivers among the road users.
• Cross the road only in the area provided for this.
• Do not cross the roadway to a flashing green and all the more yellow or red light.

Outside the pedestrian crossing

Studying the rules of behavior on the road, it is worth considering the possibility of crossing out of pedestrian areas. If the nearest regulated zone is very far away, you can cross the roadway following some rules.

1. Do not stop in the middle of the road.
2. Staying on the sidewalk, go to the edge and let the drivers understand that you intend to start moving.
3. Look around and assess the situation.
4. Wait until all cars at a distance of at least 60 meters will make a complete stop.
5. Start the movement.

Remember that even if the car on the nearest to you strip started to brake, there is a probability that the cars moving behind it or next to it, are out of your visibility zone. Therefore, you should move around carefully, constantly looking around.

Penalties

Rules for safe behavior on the road must be respected by everyone. Previously, for violations, only drivers of vehicles were penalized, and pedestrians were not punished in any way. To date, the situation has changed, and now people who move on foot are also responsible for such violations. If you cross the road in the wrong place or at a red light, then you can be fined for an amount of 500 rubles.

Rules of conduct on the railway

During the summer season a huge number of people use rail. The main cause of injuries to children and adults at this time of year is precisely the non-compliance with the rules of conduct on the railway. Because of the fear of being late for the train, some are at risk: they cross paths under the platform, jump into a moving train, etc.

The basic rules of conduct on the railway include the following items.

1. You can only cross paths in specially designated places.
2. Crop under the cars is strictly prohibited. Including it is forbidden to climb over the couplers.
3. You can not jump into the car of a moving train.
4. It is forbidden to keep doors and prevent them from automatically closing.
5. Children should not play on the platform or on the railway tracks.
6. While on a train, it is forbidden to put your head or hands in the windows.
7. You can leave the car only after the train stops completely and only on the landing platform side.
8. It is forbidden to cross paths before the moving train.

It is worth considering that a moving train can not stop instantly, since its speed only seems small. In fact, modern trains can move quite fast, up to 120 km / h. Thus, having braked, such a composition will still move by inertia still a fairly large distance segment.

Do not stand close to the edge of the platform. First, you can accidentally stumble and fall on the rails right before the moving train. Secondly, you run the risk of getting into a strong air flow, which is created during the passage of two opposing convoys. Its power is so strong that it can easily drag a person into the air funnel and throw it under the train.

Rules of conduct on the road near the railway tracks also apply to drivers who are prohibited from moving the railway in unauthorized and unequipped places. Car enthusiasts are strictly prohibited to move after the warning light comes on.

Children on the road

Small children are not always attentive alongside the roadway, so parents must clearly and clearly explain to the kids how to behave when crossing the road. If there are no special seminars at the school or kindergarten where young pedestrians tell the rules of the children's behavior on the road, then you should pay special attention to this issue.

Warn the child that even passing the carriageway by the hand with an adult, he should still look around. It should also be explained that the road or the railway tracks is not the place for the game.

For easier acquisition of material, you can make special cards, which will show the right and wrong situations. You can arrange for the child a game exam, in which he will answer questions related to the transition of the road. Ask him to draw a traffic light or other warning signs.

And, of course, remember that for a child you are an example, so do not break the rules, and let your kid see how to act.

In most schools and other educational institutions, special classes dedicated to this topic are held every year. At seminars there is also a theme "Rules of behavior of students on the roads" for older children.

Finally

Thousands of people die on the roads every year. It would seem that there is nothing complicated in elementary rules, but, alas, most prefer to ignore them. Not only drivers, but pedestrians are increasingly neglecting safety techniques, they are not only threatening their lives, but also the health of others. Slipping into a red light, you can become one who is guilty of a terrible tragedy, and forever destroy your future. It does not matter what brand of the car the driver or what position the pedestrian occupies - on the road all are equal. Only by respecting each other, observing simple rules of conduct while driving on the roadway, we will be able to protect ourselves and loved ones.
