Youth volunteers restore traffic order in front of the school gate
(Baonghean.vn) - Faced with the current situation of disorder and traffic safety at school gates in the area, the Anh Son Town Youth Union Executive Committee coordinated with the People's Committee and the Town Fatherland Front Committee to build a model of "Traffic culture at school gates".
The Anh Son Town Kindergarten and Primary School are located opposite each other on the same road, and the two schools currently have nearly 800 students. In this area, during rush hour, there are always traffic jams of parents coming to pick up their children, causing local congestion, congestion in front of the school gate, and potential traffic accidents.

For the past 3 days, at school pick-up and drop-off times, more than 10 volunteers including union members, youths, and officials and civil servants of Anh Son Town People's Committee have been present at the gates of the town's kindergarten and primary school 15 minutes early and 20 minutes late in the afternoon to work with the authorities to guide parents and students to comply with traffic safety rules such as: dividing lanes, arranging vehicles neatly, and indicating the road section to ensure traffic in front of the school gate.

Ms. Thai Thi Thuy Van - Secretary of the Youth Union of Anh Son town said: This activity will be carried out by volunteers for 1 week and will be maintained regularly in the new school year 2018-2019. In addition, the youth volunteer team to maintain traffic order and safety also actively propagates knowledge of traffic safety laws among students and parents, contributing to preserving the beauty and civilization of the city... Along with that, hanging billboards, posters, and signs along both sides of the road at 2 schools reminds people about traffic awareness.
After only 3 days of implementation, traffic congestion during rush hours at school gates before and after school hours has significantly decreased, traffic awareness of students and parents has been raised; the number of students not wearing helmets when participating in traffic has decreased./.
