With the onset of the darker days, the local government of Koekelare aims to increase the visibility and road safety of young road users. Consequently, 907 children from the primary schools De Lettertuin, De Negensprong, and De Regenboog received a free high-visibility vest.
As autumn arrives, the days are getting shorter, and it becomes dark earlier in the morning and evening. A high-visibility vest ensures that children are more noticeable in traffic, whether they are walking or cycling.
“"With these high-visibility vests, we want to give children a simple tool to move more safely in traffic. Being clearly visible is extra important, especially during the darker months. We therefore hope that the children will wear their high-visibility vests as much as possible on their way to and from school."
