The opening ceremony of this project took place today (September 24, 2026) at three locations: the pedestrian crosswalk in front of the University of Internal Affairs, the area around MIU School, and the crosswalk near Capital City General Education School No. 14.�During the event, junior police volunteers demonstrated to their peers how to properly use warning flags and cross pedestrian walkways safely, promoting positive habits.�Within the framework of the project, children crossing at pedestrian walkways will use bright yellow warning flags designed to make them more visible to drivers and attract attention in advance. A child picks up a flag from a designated holder on one side of the crosswalk, holds it visibly for drivers while crossing, and places it back into the holder on the opposite side upon reaching the other end. This not only encourages children to participate in traffic safely but also teaches them the responsible use of public property.�The "Safe Crosswalk for Children" project goes beyond placing warning flags; it aims to foster preventative safety habits by relying on the joint participation of children, parents, teachers, drivers, police organizations, and citizens.�Based on the results and needs identified during implementation, there are plans to gradually expand the project to other schools, kindergartens, and educational institutions with high child traffic.
