"Child – the main passenger!" campaign | Glubokoye District Executive Committee

Campaign "The Child is the Main Passenger!"

March 17, 2023

"The Child is the Main Passenger!" - under this slogan, the State Traffic Inspectorate will hold a preventive event from March 17 to March 27, 2023. It is dedicated to preventing child road traffic injuries, preventing accidents involving child passengers, and promoting the use of child restraint systems.

Traffic police officers will strengthen control over drivers' compliance with speed limits and rules for the safe transportation of minors in personal vehicles, route taxis, as well as organized groups of children by buses in irregular service and school buses. In addition, inspectors will be on duty in the most congested sections of streets and roads near schools, and will suppress traffic violations by minors, as well as adults when accompanying children.

During the campaign, extensive informational and explanatory work will be organized on the main risks and threats to road safety, on the need for strict compliance with the requirements for transporting minors using child restraint systems, and the rules for their selection and installation.

The State Traffic Inspectorate urges parents to transport children safely, and also to remind young pedestrians and cyclists about the rules for crossing the roadway.

Over the past two months of the current year, three children (passengers) have died on the country's roads, and 38 have been injured. 9 out of 10 such accidents occur due to the fault of adults.
