The traffic police department of the Lepel District Department of Internal Affairs summed up the results of the special comprehensive event "Attention – Children!"

Traffic police officers will continue their work on preventing child injuries on the road even after the completion of the "Attention Children!" special comprehensive event, which 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, traffic police officers identified 308 traffic violations, including: 65 instances of drivers operating vehicles without headlights on; 3 drivers were held accountable for violating child transportation rules; 20 drivers were held accountable for failing to yield to pedestrians at designated pedestrian crossings; 1 driver was held accountable for driving under the influence of alcohol; 4 drivers without a driving license; as well as 42 pedestrians and cyclists, 9 of whom were intoxicated.

No road traffic accidents involving children were registered in the Lepel district. The State Automobile Inspectorate will continue its work on preventing child injuries, prioritizing control over compliance with the rules for transporting minors and holding accountable drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians at pedestrian crossings.
