Volvo's EX30' Bicyclist Safety Feature in Roanoke, VA
Why Volvo EX30’s Bicyclist Safety Feature is Important
Volvo EX30 and Cyclist Safety
The Volvo brand is renowned for its safety measures, and it strives to raise the bar every year. The EX30 is a compact electric SUV with chic styling and a high-tech platform. The Volvo EX30 wants to look after you and others who frequent the road, which is why it has integrated cyclist safety features.
If you’re someone who works in an urban area or likes to socialize in the city, you may have noticed that a number of cyclists also share the roadways with you. A significant number of cyclist crashes are caused by a car door opening on the side of the road right when a cyclist is pedaling past. These dooring accidents make up a fifth of cyclist accidents in some cities, and Volvo wants to bring that number down.
Volvo EX30 Door Opening Alert
The Volvo EX30 is equipped with a Door Opening Alert designed to prevent accidents when exiting your vehicle. But how does it work?
- Detects Approaching Traffic: Sensors are used to detect and monitor traffic from behind.
- Administers Warnings: If the sensors detect a vehicle or other object approaching your car, you’ll receive a visual warning light and notification on the vehicle’s display.
- Intensifies Warnings: A sound and extra visual warnings will be triggered if you attempt to open your door while traffic is approaching.
