The problem that is addressed in the project is the increase in childhood injuries among preschool children. Interest in it arose after a conversation with children showing the educational film “Zebra”. We talk about road accidents in which children are seriously injured, disabled or even killed, and what needs to be done to prevent this from happening.

The guys were interested in why this was happening. And we asked our teacher Tatyana Vasilievna to help us figure this out.

Purpose of the study: study the causes of child road traffic injuries .

Research objectives:

  • find out how to ensure the safety of children in traffic in the city of Tyumen;
  • expand knowledge about road signs, traffic lights, traffic rules;
  • develop a route with the help of adults.

Research hypothesis: We assume that the cause of road traffic injuries may be non-compliance with the rules by road users, i.e. pedestrians and passengers, due to:

  • reluctance by traffic participants to comply with them;
  • low discipline of drivers and pedestrians;
  • ignorance of traffic signs and rules.

Research methods:

  • observation;
  • parent survey;
  • discussion of situations;
  • excursions;
  • play activity.

Children's road injuries in Tyumen

It was not by chance that we decided to highlight the problem of children's road injuries.

Over the 9 months of this year, 134 traffic accidents involving minors were recorded on the roads of Tyumen, in which 143 children were injured and 1 died.

Of particular concern is the fact that children under seven years of age account for up to 37% of road accidents – 49 cases.

From the history of road safety

Russia has a centuries-old tradition of maintaining order on the roads and streets. Even under Tsar Ivan III, it was ordered to follow the rules of driving and walking on the roads. Violators of the rules were severely punished.

In 1784, for the first time in Russia, a cab driver received a driver's license.

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the first vehicles appeared on Russian roads, including the first Russian cars.

In 1913, Russia ranked second in the world in the number of vehicles per capita.

Until 1961, our country had its own rules for each republic and region. Only since 1961, all-Union rules for driving on city streets and roads of the USSR have been introduced.

In 1993, the Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation were approved.

What are traffic rules for?

Imagine what would happen on the streets of the city if all the traffic lights and road signs suddenly disappeared, and the traffic controllers with their striped batons disappeared. And city drivers would suddenly forget the strict traffic rules.

Buses and cars are rushing from all sides, touching each other, motorcycles are rushing by, bicycles are scurrying around. You can hear the squeal of brakes, alarm horns, the roar of colliding cars, the rattling of broken windows, the howling of an ambulance siren...

However, cars and people live in peace: either cars let people pass, or people wait for cars to pass. Because both are subject to strict laws. These laws are called "Road Rules".

Traffic rules in accordance with the Law “On Road Traffic” dated December 10, 1995 No. 196-FZ is a single regulatory act establishing traffic regulations throughout Russia.

While observing pedestrians, we came to the conclusion that not everyone, even adults, obeys traffic rules.

While watching the transport, we found out that there are drivers who also violate traffic rules

And among the passengers there were traffic rule violators

At a stop, while waiting for transport, they go out onto the roadway Not wearing seat belts

Conducted a survey of parents

  • Do you always cross the road correctly?
  • Do you teach your child the rules of behavior in transport?
  • Does your child know where the school he will attend is located? How to go there, where to cross the street, what signs are there along the road?
  • How do you react if other people's children violate traffic rules in front of your eyes?

Based on the results of the parents' questionnaires, we can conclude:

  • Parents themselves often violate traffic rules.
  • Children are taught the rules of behavior in transport from case to case.
  • Future schoolchildren do not know their route to school.
  • They pay attention to other people's children who violate traffic rules only when they are in danger.

So to the question: “Do you always cross the road correctly?” 30% of parents answered no.



To the question: “Do you teach your child the rules of behavior in transport?” Only half of the parents answered positively.



To the question: “Does your child know where the school where he will study is located? How to go there, where to cross the street, what signs are there along the road?” Only 12% of parents responded positively.



To the question: “How do you react if other people’s children violate traffic rules before your eyes?” Most parents do not react at all or react only in extreme cases.



How does society care about the safe behavior of children on the road?

  1. Production of feature films, animated films and documentaries on the topic of road safety;
  2. Conducting quizzes, olympiads, competitions, holidays by traffic police services, teachers of schools and kindergartens;
  3. Publishing books, brochures, posters;
  4. Conducting months on child safety on the road “Attention children!”, “Zebra crossing”, “Take care of your passenger”, etc.;
  5. Drivers turning on low beam headlights while driving;
  6. The use of reflective elements on clothing, school bags and “Beware of children!” signs.

Causes of accidents with preschool children on the road

  • Distracted attention;
  • Forgetting the rules of behavior on the street;
  • Emotional condition;
  • The child’s quick reaction to a traffic situation;
  • Distracting attention from dangerous vehicles;
  • Lack of adult supervision.

How we learned traffic rules

What we learned

Traffic light is our faithful assistant

The first street traffic light appeared more than 130 years ago. The first traffic lights had only two colors: red and green, which were manually changed by a person standing next to them. But it was inconvenient to make do with two colors, and 50 years later a third color appeared on traffic lights - yellow.

When a traffic light breaks down, the traffic controller controls the traffic using a striped stick - a baton.

Road signs

Warning signs – warn us of danger.

Prohibition signs keep us safe on the roads.

Mandatory signs instruct the driver to:

Road safety rules

  • Pedestrians are allowed to walk on sidewalks and pedestrian paths, and where there are none, on the side of the road.
  • Do not get out or run onto the roadway.
  • Cross the roadway only in places marked with a zebra road marking or a pedestrian crossing sign.
  • In places where there is a traffic light, cross the street only when the signal is green.
  • Don't run across the street, walk at a calm pace.
  • Before crossing a two-way street, look to your left and, if there are no cars nearby, begin to cross. When you reach the middle, look to the right. If there are cars nearby, wait, let them pass, and then continue on your way.
  • Walk around the bus and trolleybus from behind.
  • When waiting at a bus stop, do not stand on the edge of the sidewalk.
  • When approaching a corner of a house, an arch or other obstacle, stop and make sure there are no cars nearby.

Conclusion

While doing research, we found the answer to the question:

For what reasons do road traffic accidents occur and why do children die on the streets of Tyumen?

The cause of road accidents is most often children themselves. This is caused by ignorance of the basic principles of traffic rules, the indifferent attitude of adults towards the behavior of children on the roadway, and the negative example of adults.

In order to reduce the number of road traffic injuries, it is necessary not only to increase the level of knowledge, but to change attitudes towards existing rules and develop sustainable positive habits in children and adults.

Presentation


Road markings in ancient times

The first road signs appeared almost simultaneously with the emergence of roads. To mark the route, primitive travelers broke branches and made marks on the bark of trees, and placed stones of a certain shape along the roads.

U. Well done! The traffic inspector was pleased with your knowledge, you are well versed in the Rules of the Road. He hopes that the traffic lights and road signs will become your true friends, there will be no traffic rule violators among you, and he gives you the following homework.




When you walk down the street and look around, you see road signs everywhere. They are of different colors and different shapes. They tell us what to do in a given situation. A very important science - Traffic Rules. And everyone, without exception, must comply with them. Drivers and pedestrians need to know what lies ahead on the road.


Currently, there are the following groups of road signs: warning, prohibitory, prescriptive, informational, service signs, priority signs, special instructions signs, additional information signs. We all need to know the signs, so that when we go to the market, we won’t be left without legs or shoes.


Warning signs. They are triangular in shape with a white background and a red border. Signs in this group warn of approaching danger on the road. For example: “road works”, “railroad crossing”, “be careful, children!”, “rough road”. What kind of miracle is this, two humps like a camel? This sign is triangular. What is it called?


Prohibition signs. The strictest signs! These signs are round in shape with a red border with a white field inside and a red stripe crossed out from left to right down. These include, for example: “pedestrian traffic is prohibited”, “cycling is prohibited”, “passage is prohibited”. The man on the red circle - This means that it is dangerous to walk here, In this place, friends, No one is allowed to walk!


Mandatory signs. These signs indicate places for pedestrians, cyclists, roundabouts, and avoiding obstacles on the left. They have a round shape and a blue background. Belka and I are rushing in a circle, As the arrow shows, The dog cannot catch up with his friend, Because we are rushing in a circle.
