The Ternopol prophylactics summarize “Safe way to school with Ant”.

It was an intense but very nice working time for the policemen of the Department of Prevention and Traffic of the City Headquarters in Tarnow. For over a month, police prophylactics with the mascot company SUFIGS – the great Ant, taught the first graders how to safely reach and return home from school. They also handed out reflective vests, making children aware of the need to wear them while moving along roads at dusk.

Thanks to reflective vests which made by reflective tape for clothing funded by SUFIGS with headquarters in Tarnow, the police, and the ant reached this year up to 2,000 first grade students in 78 primary schools in Tarnow. To meet with children, they traveled 1800 kilometers.

Every day, the police visited several schools where they met with children who in September began their adventure with the school. Everywhere there, they conducted classes, teaching the youngest how to be aware and all safe participants in the road traffic. The colorful ant gave away reflective materials and sweets.

Children learned the basic rules of the road, learned how to cross the street, safekeeping near it, and when traveling by car. First graders also used the acquired information in a practical way, training under the supervision of police officers crossing the road.

Yesterday, on the last day of action, police officers with an ant visited the Primary School. Like everywhere they appeared, they met with an enthusiastic reception of freshmen, who at the sight of the great ant was smiling from ear to ear.

Recall that the action “Safe way to school with an ant” was inaugurated by the Municipal Police Headquarters in 2016. This year, thanks to the huge support of SUFIGS and the purchase of educational materials, it has been expanded to include new schools, covering all first-year students.

Thank you very much to the action partner – SUFIGS, for invaluable help, school principals for openness and kindness, and our beloved children for their commitment and activity during classes – and remember:

REFLECTIVES – they save lives and health!

On Wednesday, disguised children will storm the streets to take part in the traditional Halloween candy picking. For this evening to take place safely, the Surtees du Québec recalls some safety instructions.

See and be seen

It is important to make sure your child be visible as many pedestrians and motorists will drive at dusk, a time when visibility will be reduced. It is advisable to choose a Halloween costume with light colors and reflective tape for clothing. We also recommend bringing a flashlight with you.

Finally, focus on makeup rather than wearing a mask, to allow your child to better see and hear what is happening around him.

During the evening, children should always:

Determine a journey and time of return with their parents;

Stay in a group or with the accompanying adult;

Cross the streets at intersections;

Walk only one side of the street at a time;

Have the candies inspected by their parents before eating them.

During the evening, children should never:

To enter the house or the car of a stranger;

Follow a stranger, whether by car or on foot.

Wear a reflective vest with reflective materials at night when you go outside.

Motorists, a call for vigilance.

The police are asking for the cooperation of motorists who will have to be particularly vigilant and travel at low speed in residential areas, giving priority to children who will roam the streets.

Precautionary principle

Recall that the Principle of Prudence was introduced in the Highway Safety Code last April. This principle is aimed at all road users and provides, among other things, that every road user must act with caution and respect, especially towards the most vulnerable that he, when traveling on the road network. Vulnerable users are required to adopt behaviors that promote their safety.
