Did you know there's an international standard to verify the effective performance of roadside 🛣 restraint systems? The European 🇪🇺 Standard EN1317 regulates the evaluation and classification of these systems. It establishes testing methods to measure 📏 their containment and impact absorption capabilities, categorizing them based on performance. This regulation is crucial to ensure road safety, ensuring that restraint systems meet rigorous standards and protect 🛡 drivers and passengers in case of road accidents. #RoadSafety #EN1317Standard 🎯 DUERO, MORE THAN SAFETY !

Another great result on the War against Drugs by the #USCG team with #ScanEagle. In the #DrugInterdiction world #CoastGuard operators rely on #UAS to provide real-time imagery of suspected smuggling vessels that ultimately increase the crew’s situational awareness. This helps in minimising safety concerns for interdiction assets and permits greater efficiency in processing cases. The Embarked UAS can also support prosecution efforts by helping the crew obtain video evidence, maintain continuous view of target vessels, and track jettisoned material more accurately. #EnduranceIsEverything #ExperienceMatters #ReliableUAS #PersistenceIsPriority #PersonnelSafetyIsParamount #MaritimeDomainAwareness

Next week, International Road Check will be in full swing from May 14th to the 16th. In addition to a Level 1 inspection, Officers will focus on tractor protection systems and controlled substance possession. Let's take some time to go over what Drivers can expect next week if they get selected for an inspection. #PAMTransport #CVSAInternationalRoadCheck #RoadSafety

An important campaign of driver awareness by the BC RCMP | GRC en CB - MOVE OVER! Excellent video - ***WATCH BELOW. During the month of February, BC Highway Patrol will be out in force throughout the province to reinforce with motorists the need to Slow Down and Move Over for all vehicles stopped alongside the road that have lights flashing. In B.C., motorists must reduce their speed and move into the far lane to give extra space to stopped vehicles with flashing red, blue or yellow lights. This includes emergency vehicles, tow trucks, construction, maintenance, and utility vehicles. Drivers are required to reduce their speed to: • 70 km/h where the posted speed limit is 80 km/h or higher. • 40 km/h in a less than 80 km/h zone. Think of it as the 70/40 rule. https://lnkd.in/gGiqxyYm

The importance of ensuring eye contact...

The tolling industry understands that industry and policymakers must work together to #BeSafeTogether. Check out our latest video from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA Deputy Administrator Sophie Shulman, as she shares how the agency is working to #BeSafeTogether by promoting its Safe System Approach, which puts people first and looks holistically at preventing fatalities on the road. https://lnkd.in/ePhbs6cZ #GlobalRoadSafetyWeek

Safety barriers and guard rails are key to protecting important infrastructure from vehicle strikes, as well as visually direct the flow of lift truck traffic, all while improving the safety of your operation for operators and pedestrians alike!

Did you know? NHTSA reports nearly 6 million annual car accidents, with approximately 21% attributed to hazardous weather conditions. Between 2007 and 2016, over 400,000 weather-related car accidents resulted in around 6,000 fatalities, emphasizing the severity of such incidents. Although no one can control the weather, all drivers have an obligation to operate their vehicles in a safe manner, no matter what the weather conditions are. This means you may still have the opportunity to file a claim against the individual or entity who is responsible for causing your weather-related car accident injuries. - Stay Safe Florida. - https://lnkd.in/e6qj7-e4

Today in #truckinghistory, we're looking at how sabotage prompted the origins of truck safety features. As trucks became more commonplace in the early 20th century, many new features were developed to protect the vehicles and the drivers. Though they seem like the result of vehicle evolution, they originated from an unexpected source: the need to protect against sabotage by horse and buggy drivers! As trucks began to replace traditional horse-drawn carriages, some carriage drivers saw their livelihoods threatened and resorted to sabotage. To counter this, truck manufacturers like Mack and International Harvester implemented several protective measures: 🚚- Reinforced front ends and protected radiators to prevent damage and tampering. 🚚- Locking fuel caps and secured engine compartments to safeguard against unauthorized access. 🚚- Robust electrical systems and early alarm systems to enhance security. Through the work of the Teamsters Union and others, the conflicts were eventually resolved and many carriage drivers made the transition from the buggy to truck. But the innovations the conflicts inspired not only protected early trucks but also contributed to the development of the reliable and efficient trucks we use today.
