Both traffic police officers and other public security police services are involved in monitoring the situation at pedestrian crossings.
This work has been carried out since the beginning of the academic year. Inspectors are on duty near schools one hour before and after classes, including the second shift. Such preventive measures will last until September 22.
While on duty, law enforcement officers monitor schoolchildren's compliance with safe behaviour rules, paying special attention to whether children look around when crossing the road and whether they are distracted by phone calls and other gadgets.
The officers' attention is focused not only on schoolchildren pedestrians but also on motorists. Inspectors check whether drivers comply with the rules for passing pedestrian crossings, as well as the rules for transporting children in cars. First of all, they pay attention to whether the child is in a special restraint device, as required by the Traffic Regulations.
