(KZN.RU, July 11). The Kazan Traffic Police, together with the young traffic inspectors, put warning signs at pedestrian crossings. Graffiti was applied on roads with the highest concentration of accidents.

Thus, the inscriptions appeared before the pedestrian crossings: “Vozmi Rebenka za Ruku” (Rus. “Take a child’s hand”), “Ubedis v Bezopasnosti Perekhoda” (Rus. “Make sure of the safety of the crossing”). Also, memos on road safety were distributed to adults and children during the event.
