Road safety prevention campaigns were held in Nazran.
In anticipation of the new school year, traffic police officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Ingushetia stepped up their road safety efforts in Nazran.
Officers from the traffic police's publicity department, together with Nazran traffic police officers and members of the young traffic inspectors' squad from Secondary School No. 17, held the campaigns "Driver, Let the Pedestrian Pass" and "Save a Life! Slow Down!"
The main goal of these events is to draw the attention of drivers and pedestrians to their mutual responsibility on the road and to remind them of simple rules that help protect life and health.
Drivers were reminded of the need to:
— slow down before pedestrian crossings;
— give way to pedestrians;
— be especially careful near schools and public transportation stops;
— avoid rash maneuvers and overtaking;
— obey the speed limit.
State Traffic Inspectorate officers reminded pedestrians that they should only cross the road at crosswalks, after ensuring it is safe to do so. At night, the use of reflective elements is recommended.
With the start of the school year, the number of children on the city streets will increase. Therefore, the State Traffic Inspectorate urges all road users to be attentive, obey the rules, and remember: road safety begins with everyone's responsibility.
