At this time of year, schoolchildren are often outside and interacting with their peers, making it especially important for parents to monitor where their children are and who they are spending time with. It is also necessary to explain the rules of safe behavior in public places and yards.
The department emphasizes that during the winter period, when ice and poor visibility are common, failure to observe simple safety measures can lead to traffic accidents and other serious incidents.
Parents should particularly emphasize to their children the importance of following traffic rules, reminding them of the inadmissibility of playing near the roadway and the need to be especially careful when crossing the street.
