Next Monday (19), Cotia hosts a road safety action on the occasion of the "Day", an initiative in support of the "Move Over – protect those who take care of your trip" Movement, which warns of the importance of slowing down when encountering crews on duty and changing lanes whenever possible.
The action, promoted by Ecovias Raposo Castello and Motiva Sorocabana in partnership with the City of Cotia through the Municipal Department of Planning, Transport and Mobility, takes place from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in front of Cotia City Hall (Av Prof Manoel José Pedroso, 1347 – Parque Bahia).
The goal is to encourage good safety and respect practices among drivers, truck drivers and motorcyclists, who share space with the professionals who work in the assistance and maintenance of the highway, especially first responders, maintenance crews, tow/traffic operators, police officers and firefighters.
The concessionaires will have their service tents inviting visitors to take part in playful and educational activities, such as mock-ups that simulate, in practice, the need to reduce speed and change lanes when there are crews working on the roadway, offered by Motiva Sorocabana, and obstacle courses using goggles that simulate the effects of alcohol on the body and its impacts on the senses, an activity promoted by Ecovias Raposo Castello.
There will also be distribution of campaign leaflets and giveaways such as cell phone lanyards and car trash bins.
The Move Over Movement is coordinated by the Brazilian Association of Highway Concessionaires (ABCR). It was inspired by the American Move Over and is currently carried out at around 50 highway concessionaires in the country, which together manage more than 20 thousand kilometers of highways.
