Penza State Traffic Inspectorate told how to protect children on the road

The Penza State Traffic Inspectorate reminded adults about child safety on the roads. On the street, the child is defenseless, and in the car, in addition, becomes hostage to the situation. It is adults who must monitor how he participates in road traffic, and they should be reminded of the rules regularly.

Drivers are asked to be especially careful, keep a safe distance, choose a reasonable speed and strictly follow the requirements of the signs, especially near the Children sign. If before the unregulated crossing the car stopped or slowed down, drivers from neighboring lanes can only drive further, making sure that there are no pedestrians in front of it. Children under 12 years old can not be transported in the front seat and without a special restraint, because their life and health are in the hands of adults. At any time on the roadway can be a child, so caution is unnecessary. If your child is driving in your car, ensure maximum safety and use a car seat designed to save lives.

Parents are advised not to rely on the fact that the child calm and obedient. Talk to him about the behavior on the street and before each exit from the house repeat the simple things: on the roadway can not run out under any circumstances, and the road is crossed only in established places, on a green signal and making sure of complete safety.

Employees of the traffic police ask all adults not to remain indifferent to children playing near the roadway. By your example, teach them to cross the road only in designated places, and in the dark do not do it in unlit places. Wear light-reflective elements on children's clothes or backpacks. Preserving children’s lives should be a priority.

Adult pedestrians, drivers and passengers are prime examples for children. Be careful on the roads, because the guys watch your behavior and adopt it. Ignorance and neglect of transport discipline lead to tragic consequences.
