We also pay special attention to educational events aimed at increasing the level of knowledge about road traffic and behavior on the roads. In particular, within the framework of the national project, the All-Russian online Olympiad “Safe Roads” is held annually, where schoolchildren can consolidate their knowledge of traffic rules. Over four years, more than 15 million participants have tested their road literacy,” said Marat Khusnullin.
To prevent child road traffic injuries, the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate carries out various activities aimed at raising children’s awareness of the rules of conduct on the roads.
