Uncle Styopa again on guard: in Kostroma traffic police issued cards on road safety

In the Kostroma region, the traffic police came up with an unusual way to remind children about the rules of the road - with the help of his favorite childhood hero Uncle Styopa. For the 90th anniversary of the character, the State Traffic Inspectorate of the region has prepared a series of training cards for the booklet “Transmission of the Calm Road with Uncle Styopa”.

Interestingly, this year the department also has an anniversary: 90 years ago, in 1936, the State Traffic Inspectorate appeared in the NKVD system. So it turned out to be a double occasion - both for a holiday and for an important cause.

Although many years have passed since the appearance of Uncle Styopa on the pages of Sergei Mikhalkov’s poem, his image is still associated with order and justice. And today, such a hero is great to explain to the guys how to behave on the road in a simple and kind form.

Each card is a mini lesson without boring instructions. It has a short verse, clear advice and a simple rule that is easy to remember. This format helps children not just hear, but really learn the basics of safety.

Now, when the new school year has begun, and autumn is already making itself felt - leaves are rusting on the sidewalks, and ice may appear on the roads - such clues are especially relevant. Uncle Stepa will tell you how to walk down the street calmly and confidently, what to pay attention to and how not to get into a dangerous situation.

Cards can be downloaded and shared: the more children learn simple but important rules, the safer our streets will be. After all, the habit of observing traffic rules begins with a small one - with one understandable verse and good advice.
