In the Leningrad region recorded a decrease in the number of accidents
November 15 is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims
Today, November 15, is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. In this regard, the press service of the Law and Order and Safety Committee told about some results of the year related to the situation with accidents and its prevention.
To reduce the number of accidents on Leningrad roads, not only the participants of the movement are responsible. But also the relevant services – road workers, state traffic inspectors, representatives of authorities and local self-government. Their activities help to make the way to work, school or home safer for Leningraders.
In 2025, the region became lighter at 50 pedestrian crossings thanks to new lighting. 10 sets of equipment for the light projection of the zebra were also installed. Work was carried out on the arrangement of routes to educational institutions. There were signs and road markings. 32 accident-hazardous areas were examined and measures were taken to improve their safety. Road fences, warning signs and noise lanes have been installed, and markings have been updated.
In the region there is a system of “smart lighting”. It informs road services automatically about faults, helping to fix them faster.
In schools and kindergartens, classes are held using the mobile complex "Safety Laboratory". It helps children from 5 to 13 years to learn the rules of behavior on the road.
By the end of 2025, the number of accidents in the Leningrad region decreased by 5.9 percent. Incidents involving children by 13 percent.
We continue our work: every tragedy prevented is priceless.
The Committee of Law and Order and Security of the Leningrad Region calls on all participants of the movement to take care of themselves and others. Motorists - choose a safe speed, fasten, use car seats when transporting children. Pedestrians should be attentive when crossing the road, and noticeable in the dark.
Earlier, “MK in the Leningrad region” said that after an accident with two cars in the Priozersk district hospitalized four people.
