Hanoi promotes model of school gates for traffic safety
The "School Gate for Traffic Safety" model holds promise for significantly improving traffic safety around Hanoi schools.
The "School Gate for Traffic Safety", a model intending to raise awareness and understanding of traffic safety regulations among students, teachers, and school staff throughout Hanoi, was launched at Hoang Dieu Primary School, Ba Dinh District on March 20.
Vice Chairman of Ba Dinh District People's Committee Nguyen Trung Dung told The Hanoi Times that the model aims to promote safe participation in traffic to reduce student-related accidents and create a safer, more pleasant traffic environment around schools. "It also seeks to deter traffic violations and instill a sense of responsibility for traffic safety in students from a young age".
Under the program, a Self-management Team was set up to organize traffic safety education activities for students, teachers, staff, and residents near the school. They will also be responsible for maintaining traffic order and safety around the school gate, particularly during peak hours and periods of heavy traffic.
The launching ceremony included the signing of a commitment to implement the "School Gate for Traffic Safety" model at Hoang Dieu Primary School, in which leaders from Ba Dinh District and the Traffic Police Department presented helmets to students. Traffic officers also provided educational talks on the Road Traffic Law, traffic regulations, and measures to ensure safety around the school gate.
"The "School Gate for Traffic Safety" model holds promise for significantly improving traffic safety around Hanoi schools. By promoting safe behaviors and fostering a sense of responsibility among students, the program can create a safer and more sustainable transportation environment for the entire community," said Dung.
