In early October 2014 in the territory of LenExpo will be a large-scale event "SDA FLASHMOB" - a mass action on the rules of the road. It will be attended by about three hundred first-graders from more than 100 schools in St. Petersburg.
The children rehearse with great zeal. During the rehearsals, the traffic police officers can explain the rules of pedestrians and motorists on the carriageway, as well as conduct various contests and quizzes so that children do not get tired.
Dolgopolov Maxim: "Our task is to protect children from death on the roads"
During the flashmob of children on bicycles and toy cars will play before the audience a gigantic idea that will show how adults, sometimes in bad faith, breaking the rules, behave on the roadway. So, playing, children will learn the rules of the road, learn good manners and courtesy on the road.
Maxim Dolgopolov: "The purpose of this large-scale presentation is to attract the attention of the leaders to the children. The number of road accidents involving children has been steadily increasing year by year. For 9 months of 2014 there were 526 incidents, which is 38 more than in the same period of 2013. In 70% of cases, drivers are guilty of the accident, but children too often behave incorrectly on the roadway, run across the road in the wrong place or on the red light. "
The senior inspector advised in each school, specially for first-graders, to compose and place in an accessible place a colorful scheme of safe walking routes, and also to study first of all the signs of traffic related to pedestrian safety: "Pedestrian crossing" and "Pedestrian traffic prohibited" .
"Attach a pedestrian cataphyte to your child's clothes", - the advice of the senior inspector of the UGIBDD of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia, Maxim Vladimirovich Dolgopolov
In the dark, it is difficult to notice and react quickly to an unexpectedly jumped on the carriageway of the child. At night in a dipped headlamp, a man in dark clothes is only visible at a distance of 25-30 meters, and this is very small to react quickly and avoid a collision with a pedestrian. If there is a retroreflector, the driver will notice the person for 300-350 meters. "Therefore, we recommend attaching a light-reflecting keychain to the child's clothing or knapsack," Maxim Vladimirovich Dolgopolov explained. By the way, in many northern countries, where in the winter it's getting dark too early, like in Russia, such measures are prescribed in the law.
