Traffic awareness drive for students
Students’ return to school has been made safer, after a new campaign by the Abu Dhabi Police who launched a traffic awareness campaign for students across all levels — with students asked to take the lead in producing videos and flyers.
During the first week of the new academic year, the Traffic and Patrols Directorate introduced students at eight Abu Dhabi schools to the ‘Golden Rule’ for using school buses, which is to move 10 steps ahead of the bus when exiting the bus and avoid bending down near the bus.
Lt-Colonel Jamal Salem Al Ameri, Chief of the Public Relations Section at the directorate, said the traffic awareness programme had been intensified for the new academic year.
“Traffic awareness covers two new schools in Abu Dhabi every day. It includes traffic awareness messages to be delivered to the pupils’ parents, urging them to adhere to traffic regulations, in order to protect students against traffic accidents.”
He said the campaign would also have a social media presence on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Al Ameri urged parents who drove their children to school to refrain from stopping randomly in front of school entrances in order to avoid traffic jams.
He also urged bus drivers and supervisors to adhere to traffic safety instructions and stop only in designated areas, as well as avoid overloading school buses.
Captain Aisha Mohammed Al Zaabi, Traffic Awareness Officer in the Public Relations Section, said the directorate had uploaded five educational traffic films on social media websites.
“This student traffic campaign is a competition that aims to engage students has three main aspects: traffic research, which includes a traffic film produced by students, a traffic photo album and traffic flyers; a traffic gallery; and an awareness idea that will help educate students.”
