Child cops give lesson on traffic rules in Turkey

ANKARA – Anadolu Agency

Children dressed up as traffic police on May 8 gave lessons on road safety in the capital Ankara.

Twenty children, who are also members of Ankara Municipality’s Children Council, gathered at Kızılay Square to warn drivers and pedestrians about traffic rules.

“Get noticed for your caution, not speed” and “Obey traffic rules, do not lose your loved ones,” read the placards they carried.

The children asked pedestrians the meaning of several traffic signs and explained some to them.

They explained to the drivers the importance of fastening seatbelts and obeying traffic rules.

“Hey grown-ups! Obey traffic rules, set an example for us,” was the slogan announced by some children.

Pedestrians praised the young cops for learning traffic rules.

Similar activities will be held to mark Traffic Week.
