28 December 2020

The list of regions - project participants in 2020: Volgograd, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Irkutsk, Kirov, Omsk, Penza, Chelyabinsk, Sakhalin regions, Trans-Baikal and Stavropol Territories, Sevastopol, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, as well as the Republic of Altai, Sakha ( Yakutia), Tyva, Bashkortostan, Buryatia, Dagestan, Tatarstan and the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.

The relevance of the Safety Laboratory project is evidenced by the official statistics of accidents: in January - November 2020, 15359 road accidents (hereinafter - RTA) with the participation of children under 16 occurred in Russia, 475 died, 16800 were injured. Over these months, compared to the same period in 2019, the number of children killed in road accidents has decreased by 9.9%. “We expect that the measures taken will lead to large-scale positive results,” explains RSA President Igor Yurgens.

Safety Laboratories have been opening since 2017 as part of an all-Russian program aimed at reducing the number of road accidents involving children and adolescents. The work on the opening of auto towns is carried out by order of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin by the Russian Union of Auto Insurers, together with the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, with the support of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Transport of Russia and the «Road Safety Russia».

On the basis of innovation centers, children from 5 years of age, parents and teachers are trained in traffic rules and safe behavior in the transport environment.

The mobile complex allows not only verbally explaining to a child how to behave correctly on the road, in transport, on a bicycle and on a SIM, but also helps to simulate various situations through games. In addition, the laboratory is mobile, which means that training can be carried out not only in cities, but also in regional centers and rural settlements.

Each center is equipped with equipment from more than 70 items, as well as handouts, including workbooks to consolidate theoretical knowledge. Souvenirs with reflective properties are distributed to students to ensure road safety.

Demonstration exposition of equipment recreates elements of the urban environment, which allows for educational interactive events with modeling of possible situations on the road. The complex of equipment is designed to simulate traffic situations and teach models of behavior on the road in conditions that are as close as possible to real ones. Children are involved in the process of understanding the dangers and learn to make the right decisions through discussion of specific situations and personal experiences.

Preserving the life and health of young road users is a priority in the large-scale work on the prevention of road accidents. Together with other measures, auto towns have a significant effect on reducing the level of injuries and deaths of children in road accidents. “10 years ago, more than 900 children under the age of 16 died in road accidents in Russia every year. The decrease in the overall infant mortality rate for the period from 2009 to 2019 was 39%, the death rate of children-pedestrians and cyclists - 58%, children-drivers of motor vehicles - 33%, child-passengers - 20%. Today, the state has set a task to strive for a “zero” mortality rate on the roads, primarily among children, by 2030, ”said Police Major General Oleg Ponaryin, Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of Traffic Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
