Police officers, together with BESIP, went to pedestrian crossings near schools. As part of the Zebra campaign, they do not look at you alerting you about safe road traffic behavior. This nationwide event also took place in front of the Street School.
The preventive Zebra project does not look at you as a safe behavior in road traffic since 2007. It takes place twice a year, at the beginning of the school year and in April.
“Police at pre-established crossings, especially in the vicinity of schools, introduce children to the basic principles of safe behavior that they should observe when passing the road, and it is useful to wear clothing which is sewn-on reflective materials.” said Drain.
The event takes place in various places in the Moravian-Silesian Region. For example, in Navy Jilin, Police, together with BESIP, surprised children at elementary school at Comenius Street.
“I look to the left, then to the right, to the left for the last time, and then you can go when nothing is possible,” said the passage of the journey to the first man. “I’ll see if there is a car when I wait until it stops,” added the sixth grade student.
“Unfortunately, I have to say that the kids, when they go to school early in the morning, rely on protecting the crowd. It is a group, they are talking and the basic criteria they should observe, look at, make eye contact, so it lags in that group, “said Pave Rakes, coordinator of BESIP for the MS Region.
According to police officers, everyone should remember one important rule. It is also important to wear a reflective vest when go out at night.
“Not only children but all pedestrians should remember that they do not have absolute pedestrian crossings,” police spokesperson added.
Other rules of safe pedestrian crossing also include the fact that we should cross the road perpendicularly, to the right of the crossing and not to use it unnecessarily.
“We strive to influence not only the thinking of children but of all road users,” concluded the BESIP coordinator.
As a gift for the right knowledge of crossing the pedestrian crossing and a reminder of security rules, children received small gifts from the Police and BESIP – puzzles, coloring books and reflective tapes.
