Traffic police officers will continue their work to prevent child road injuries after the completion of the "Attention Children!" special comprehensive event. The special comprehensive event was held from May 25 to June 5.
State Automobile Inspectorate officers reminded children and adults of the basic rules for safe road behaviour. Raids were conducted in conjunction with the media.
Together with teams of young traffic inspectors, a series of preventive campaigns aimed at preventing road traffic accidents were carried out. During these campaigns, leaflets with preventive information and retroreflective elements were distributed among road users.
Despite the ongoing efforts and informing road users through mass media, undisciplined drivers are still encountered on the roads. During the event in the district, the traffic police: stopped 69 instances of drivers operating vehicles without dipped headlights; for violating child transportation rules
10 drivers were held accountable; 6 drivers were held accountable for failing to yield to pedestrians at designated pedestrian crossings; 2 drivers were held accountable for driving under the influence of alcohol.
No road traffic accidents involving children were registered in the Lepel district. The State Automobile Inspectorate will continue its work to prevent child injuries, prioritising control over compliance with the rules for transporting minors and holding accountable drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians at pedestrian crossings.
