Accordingly, to further enhance the effectiveness of traffic safety awareness campaigns in the fourth quarter, especially before, during, and after Tet (Lunar New Year), the Lang Son Provincial Traffic Safety Committee has developed a plan to install traffic safety awareness signs at school gates, community cultural centers, and residential areas throughout Lang Son province.

This aims to strengthen the dissemination and education of traffic safety laws, raise awareness and encourage voluntary compliance with traffic laws among road users, and build a traffic culture within the community.

The Lang Son Provincial Traffic Safety Committee has directed the installation of traffic safety awareness signs at all school gates in the province (each sign measuring 80 x 120cm) and at community cultural centers in densely populated wards and towns (each sign measuring 60cm x 80cm). They are also to construct and organize the installation of traffic safety signs (60cm x 80cm) at 183 community cultural centers in wards and towns throughout the province. This is to be completed before November 15th. Furthermore, procedures for contracting a design firm to provide a sufficient number of traffic safety awareness signs will be initiated and completed before November 25th.

In addition, the propaganda and mobilization efforts must be practical and effective, including disseminating information at all school gates throughout the province and in all neighborhoods and residential areas; and installing traffic safety awareness signs at community cultural centers in wards and towns throughout the province.

The Lang Son Provincial Traffic Safety Committee is responsible for providing and handing over traffic safety awareness signs to the Traffic Safety Committees of districts and cities for implementation.

This activity was carried out in three steps: developing the content for printing the promotional signs; implementing the procedures for contracting a design unit and ensuring the supply of a sufficient number of traffic safety promotional signs; and launching a campaign to install the promotional signs at all school gates throughout the province.

Recently, Lang Son province has organized many programs to disseminate and promote traffic safety in schools. Accordingly, the traffic police force has coordinated with schools to organize courses for students to learn about traffic safety laws, traffic signs, and compliance with traffic regulations.

Here, students are informed about and asked questions related to road safety. At the same time, parents are asked to sign a commitment not to give vehicles to their children before they are of legal age.
