There may be heavier vehicle traffic around the times when work begins and ends at such places. For someone walking along the roadside, this means having to exercise particular caution, especially when cars, vans or trucks are passing nearby.

We are calling for action and for consideration of ways to improve pedestrian safety along this section, particularly since it is used daily by people travelling to work.

Being able to reach one’s workplace safely is important, regardless of whether an employee chooses a car, bicycle, public transport or walking. For pedestrians, the possibility of using a continuous and safe route separated from vehicular traffic wherever possible is particularly important.

Pedestrians should also exercise particular caution on sections where there is no pavement or where the pedestrian route suddenly ends. In heavy traffic, it is worth paying attention to approaching vehicles, visibility and the conditions on the road.
