From November 19 to 24, traffic police officers will conduct an information campaign in the Postavy district.

"Time to become visible!" — under this title, events will be held aimed at preventing road traffic injuries involving vulnerable road users and minimizing negative trends in road safety.

As part of the campaign, outreach work among the population and in labor collectives will be intensified. Printed materials on the relevant topic will be placed in places of mass public attendance. A selective monitoring of retail outlets for the availability of retroreflective products for sale is planned. Special attention will be paid to sections of the street and road network where there is the highest risk of pedestrian collisions. Control checks of work will also be carried out.
