For four years our school has been organizing a preventive campaign called “An Apple or a Lemon”. Pupils from grades 4 and 5 under the supervision of teachers and police officers from the Traffic Department in Dąbrowa Tarnowska took part in this event. The main goal of this action was paying drivers’ attention to obeying traffic regulations and reminding them that they may increase the level of safety on the roads. Police officers together with pupils stopped cars, checked drivers’ papers and sobriety to make sure that they drove safely.
Operation Safe Home was developed to help improve the system of children exiting the school at home time. Due to an increase in students attending the school and a rise in the number of road safety incidents occurring at this time an action plan was put into place .We currently have 497 pupils and expect to have over 500 pupils next Sept. The boy’s school is located within 300 metres of the girl’s school and has similar numbers. There is therefore a very high volume of traffic particularly in the evenings. The entrance to our school and the footpath are both very narrow.
EN: In the peak hour, factory accesses are highly frequented by employees commuting by collective transport or their own vehicles. The employee’s representation, plant engineers and the occupational health and safety department cooperated to identify possible risks of traffic accidents and to take appropriate measures to eliminate those risks.

La Policía quiere que la ciudadanía disfrute al máximo de su movilidad. Los artefactos de movilidad personal son, en este sentido, magníficas opciones. Y estupendos regalos navideños!... Pero todo en la vía pública tiene sus limitaciones, marcadas en mayúscula con la palabra SEGURIDAD y el adjetivo CÍVICA. El folleto que ha preparado Educación Vial pretende concienciar a todo el mundo al respecto, vertiendo normas, consejos, confidencias... para circular con la misma libertad que debemos reconocer a quienes nos rodean.
Sólo un 21% de la ciudadanía tiene un contacto directo con un policía en un año y, encima, en el 40% de los casos en que esto se produce, es por una infracción o un control de tráfico ... Pero todo cambia en Navidad. Muchos más controles de alcoholemia. Muchas más probabilidades de ser parado. Muchas más ocasiones para dar positivo. Muchas más vías para ver arruinadas las fiestas... Por eso, la Policía de Sant Boi ha preparado un díptico informando a la ciudadanía de sus derechos, sus deberes... y sus alternativas. Nadie pide una abstinencia eremitíca.
