The two held a press conference on Tudor Vladimirescu street in front of the Szascvay Imre School, where a woman arrived last Thursday and took her child from school hit on the pedestrian crossing. Together with Poti Csaba, president of the school's parents' association, politicians also presented the temporary solution they propose: the provision of flag boards and information boards for pedestrian crossings.
The local councilor, a teacher at Szacsvay Imre, showed that the school has submitted such requests to the City Hall as early as 2014 when the school was on Mihai Eminescu Street. Some have remained unanswered, the most recent promise a solution in a rather uncertain future.
"The sent addresses did not have any results. At the last of them, on November, the City Hall replied that the request was examined in the Circulars Committee. It was determined that the pedestrian crossing will continue to be signaled in the same way, and the technical project on the traffic on the Plevnei street from the new bridge over Crisul Repede will be regulated and its situation ", Kesse said.
Insisting that because of fatigue and agitation, drivers, parents, and children may be unaware of the passage, Szabo believes that we cannot balance the cost of a low-cost pass at the price of people's safety. Up to an acceptable solution on the part of the municipality, the parents of the students at the Szacsvay School have put into practice a pilot project: at the headlights of the pedestrian crossing, on the lighting pillars, they placed flags with reflective tapes to attract the attention of the drivers. The mechanism is simple, the pedestrians take the flag, raise it to make it visible to the drivers, and leave it on the pillar across the road, explains Poti Csaba.
He pointed out that the parents' organization had begun to collect signatures for the installation of crossed-out passages or buttonholes at all school institutions in Oradea.
Such solutions are already operational at the Art High School, Petofi Park, Lucian Blaga High School or Dacia Gymnasium. Such an alienation was also mounted at the crossing of pedestrians near the Balcescu school but, in time, it has deteriorated, as well as the interest of the municipality for the safety of small pedestrians.
On behalf of the City Hall, Deputy Mayor Birta Florin, the coordinator of the Technical Department, commented that "if we meet all the requests for pedestrian crossings, they will all be elevated".
"And as a result of our interest in pedestrian safety, 2017 was the first year in which we had no fatal accidents on pedestrian crossings," the deputy mayor insists.
