The first total online traffic rules test started in the Moscow region
A total online test for knowledge of traffic rules has been launched in the Moscow region. “I know the traffic rules - Regional test 2021” will be held from October 11 to November 11, residents of the region will be able to test their knowledge of the rules of safe behavior on the roads, the event is carried out within the framework of the national project “Safe Quality Roads”, reports the press service of the Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure Moscow region.
“The Moscow region is the first region to conduct an online test for traffic rules. Together with colleagues from the State Traffic Inspectorate, we carry out many activities to improve road transport infrastructure and increase road safety. However, the behavior of drivers and pedestrians on the road, their attentiveness to the road situation and knowledge of traffic rules remain an important factor in accident-free movement. I am sure that the test will allow many to repeat the rules and draw attention to the importance of following traffic rules,” said the Minister of Transport and Road Infrastructure of the Moscow Region, Alexey Gerzhik.
To take part in the competition, you must register on the website. In 20 minutes, participants will need to answer 20 questions on their knowledge of traffic rules. The test includes questions on knowledge of road markings, parking, driving through intersections and many others.
“The number of road accidents and fatalities from road accidents in the Moscow region is steadily decreasing thanks to the measures taken. However, the main cause of accidents on the roads remains non-compliance with the rules of safe behavior, such as gross violation of the speed limit, driving through a red traffic light, driving into the oncoming lane and others,” said Svetlana Zabolotskaya, director of the public organization “Road Safety Union”.
All those who successfully complete the test will be awarded personalized electronic certificates. After summing up the results, twenty participants who correctly answered the maximum number of questions in a short time will receive prizes. And ten of these participants will be awarded personalized certificates in person.
“We have been a partner of the Moscow region in ensuring road safety for more than 5 years, implementing modern IT solutions in the field of traffic safety, and we know firsthand how many road accidents occur due to careless attitude to traffic rules. Therefore, we supported the online test,” said MVS Group General Director Evgeny Sobolev.
No sanctions will be applied to test participants who fail the test. In particular, driver's licenses will not be revoked, but they will receive a link to traffic rules.

Innovative forms of working with parents to teach children traffic rules
Bibliographic description:
Poletaeva, I.V. Innovative forms of work with parents to teach children traffic rules / I.V. Poletaeva, S.A. Voronkova, T.V. Koteneva, K.V. Khmelnitskaya. — Text: direct // Questions of preschool pedagogy. — 2021. — No. 2 (29). — P. 39-40. — URL: https://moluch.ru/th/1/archive/155/4823/ (access date: 11/21/2021).
Road safety is one of the important tasks in modern society. A huge role in solving this problem is played by the organization of work in the field of road safety to prevent child road traffic injuries in preschool children in preschool institutions. It is necessary to familiarize children with the rules of the road and develop the skills of correct behavior on the road from a very early age, since the knowledge acquired in childhood is the most durable. The rules learned by the child subsequently become the norm of behavior, and their observance becomes a human need [1].
The goal of the preschool educational institution’s work in this direction is to create conditions for the formation of stable skills of safe behavior on the streets and roads in preschoolers. To achieve the goal, the following are of paramount importance:
− improving the forms and methods of work to prevent children’s road traffic injuries among pupils;
− introduction of innovative forms and methods of working with students and parents on this issue;
− increasing the role of parents in the system of work to prevent child road traffic injuries.
− improving the developmental subject-spatial environment for organizing educational activities to teach children traffic rules.
Full training in knowledge, skills and habits of safe behavior on the road is impossible without children completing tasks simulating possible situations on the road and in transport. Therefore, the group has created conditions that optimally ensure the process of teaching preschoolers the rules of the road and developing in them the necessary skills and abilities, developing positive, sustainable habits of safe behavior on the city streets.
When teaching preschoolers the rules of the road, educators use not only methodological and illustrative material, but also create a game center in the group, which includes: road signs, traffic lights, city street layouts, transport sets, attributes for role-playing games, didactic games, posters, traffic rules puzzles. Parents take an active part in filling the developing subject-spatial environment with various attributes that help to better remember and assimilate traffic rules. Thus, they sewed a road crossing, badges with images of road transport and road signs, and made a model of a traffic light with switching signals.
As part of interaction with parents in this area, a creative group has been created that provides assistance in organizing and conducting parent meetings, conversations, and round tables.
Visual information plays a major role in improving the pedagogical culture of parents. Its main task is to systematically familiarize parents with the methods of developing a transport culture in children, and the conscious implementation of traffic rules by adults themselves. For this purpose, educators have set up stands for parents, where information is posted in the form of booklets, memos, and posters reflecting recommendations for teaching children traffic rules.
Throughout the year, shows are regularly held - competitions of drawings and crafts, the winners of which receive certificates and diplomas.
Parents are happy to take part in quests - games based on traffic rules “Assemble the right road sign”, “Safety island”. When completing quest games, participants consolidate their knowledge of road signs, the purpose of traffic lights and their signals. Teachers have developed interactive games on traffic rules: “The ABC of Road Signs”, “Help Bear Cross the Road”, “Traffic Light and Its Purpose”, during which the following tasks are solved:
− activating the attention of parents on the problem of teaching preschoolers the rules of the road;
− awareness among students of the importance of the problem of correct behavior on the road;
− development of practical skills for preschoolers to behave on the road in different urban traffic situations.
Parents are also active participants in the “Roads of Our City” propaganda team, which holds events (shares) together with employees of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the city of Stary Oskol with the involvement of the public not only in kindergarten groups, but also beyond.
Teachers, together with parents, carry out the campaigns “Driver, slow down”, “Be careful on the road!”, “Driver, slow down”, during which attention is drawn to safety when transporting children in a car using child restraints and offers reminders, booklets “Automotive chair for children."
I would like to note that these actions contributed not only to the activation of various forms of children's activities, but also made it possible to integrate work with children and parents. The work on carrying out the actions was covered in the media and in the news feed on the preschool educational institution’s website.
In modern society, the volunteer movement is relevant. Parents willingly take part in this movement. Together with teachers, they developed quizzes for younger preschoolers and created illustrated booklets to emphasize the need to follow the rules on the road. The group created a stand for designing “Young Pedestrian” cartoons to study traffic rules.
A successful experience was the joint work of parents and children to write fairy tales and stories for preschool educational institutions about the rules of safe behavior on the road and transport. These tales were compiled into the book “The Competent Pedestrian.”
Participants in the volunteer movement take initiative, intensify work in families, and post interesting materials on the preschool educational institution’s website - consultations, recommendations, notes of conversations on studying traffic rules.
Thus, teaching children the rules of safe road traffic is a systematic and purposeful process with the participation of parents, during which students gain knowledge, skills and behavior on the road.

Road Safety Week, the main theme of which will be the prevention of accidents involving children and reducing the severity of their consequences, will be held throughout the country from September 20 to 24. The organizers are the Russian State Traffic Inspectorate and the Russian Ministry of Education. It is planned that the Week’s events will cover the maximum number of educational organizations in the country and will attract schoolchildren, teachers and parents.
For a number of years, Road Safety Week has traditionally been held at the beginning of the new school year. The need for additional measures aimed at improving the safety of children when participating in road traffic is determined by the statistics of road accidents - every year in September the maximum accident rates involving children are recorded.
Based on the results of 8 months of this year, the number of road accidents involving minors decreased by 0.9% compared to last year’s figures. The number of children injured in them decreased by 1.1%. At the same time, an increase in the number of children killed by 12.9% was recorded.
In almost half of the accidents (45.3%), children were involved as passengers in vehicles. Every third child (38.9%) was injured in an accident as a pedestrian. Every ninth (10.9%) of road accidents occurred with child cyclists and every eighteenth (5.4%) of road accidents involved minor drivers of motor vehicles.
The Week's events are primarily preventive in nature and are aimed at various aspects of improving the safety of children on the roads. The main target audience will be the parent community; various educational and informational events will be held for them.
Employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate will attend parent meetings and focus on issues such as the need to ensure the safety of child passengers and the use of reflective elements by child pedestrians. Parents will be reminded of the inadmissibility of children under the age of 10 years old unaccompanied by adults on the roadway and of the need to monitor children and adolescents’ compliance with traffic rules when driving bicycles and motorbikes, and of the safe use of modern means of transportation - hoverboards, Segways, unicycles. In addition, parent committees and the active public will be involved in activities to popularize the use of reflective elements by schoolchildren.
Employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate will hold meetings with children and parents in residential areas and courtyards, during which they will remind about the need to ensure the safety of young road users.
For primary school students, the emphasis will be on developing, together with parents, individual schemes for safe routes along the “home-school-home” route. Special classes and walking excursions will be held for children on the road network near educational organizations.
In addition, on the eve of the Week, the State Traffic Inspectorate, together with the all-Russian publication “The Good Road of Childhood,” launched two online challenges. One of them, #TakingTheChildRight, is aimed at improving the safety of young passengers and popularizing the use of child restraints. The second challenge - #TakeTheChildByHand - reminds you of the need to follow safety rules when crossing the roadway.
Anyone can support these online challenges. To do this, you need to record a short video (up to 1 minute) on the topic of the challenge, post it on your page, indicating the appropriate hashtag. 3 winning videos for each challenge will be determined at the end of Road Safety Week.
