Children were reminded of the importance of traffic rules during the holidays

Children should learn the rules of the road from an early age and constantly observe them, including during the May holidays. This is the opinion of the Ministry of Education of Russia.

The child must learn the rules of the road and get the skills of safe movement, starting from pre-school age, RIA Novosti quoted the press service of the department.

The special attention of children on the observance of traffic rules should be paid on holidays and on the eve of the summer holidays. For this purpose, the specialists developed and sent out three leaflets to all regions of Russia: for students, parents, and teachers.

The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation participates in the implementation of the federal target program “Improving road safety in 2013–2020”. The department conducts advanced training courses for school teachers, employees of institutions of additional education and kindergarten teachers. They explain how to properly teach children about safe behavior on the street.

Experts stressed that the rules should be mastered gradually, starting with permanent routes. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account age-related peculiarities and psycho-emotional development of the child.

In addition, parents of schoolchildren should remember the importance of a personal example and abide by the traffic rules, that is, correctly perceive traffic lights and cross the “zebra” road. Children under the age of 12 should be transported in a car in a special chair, and reflective materials or reflective tapes should be attached to children’s clothing.

Earlier News.ru reported that the head of the traffic police, Mikhail Chernikov, at the conference “Safe Road. Road safety strategy until 2024” stated that he had made a proposal in the main committee of the department to reduce the maximum allowable speed for cars with children at 20 km / h.
