ROAD SAFETY FOR ESTATE RESIDENTS
****
A comprehensive road safety campaign is being organised for the
Sau Mau Ping Resettlement Estate.
It lasts for five days, from October 2 to 6, and will involve some
3,000 youngsters in the area. The main aim of the campaign is to
assist local schools in educating students about road safety.
The opening ceremony will be held at the Sau Mau Ping Safety
Town where there are "child-size" crossings, pavements, traffic lights
and miniature cars.
A road safety training programme will be held in the Safety Town,
while a number of competitions will be held at the Sau Mau Ping (South)
Estate Welfare Building. These include speech and colouring competitions
and a quiz on traffic and road safety.
The winning entries together with pictures and charts illustrating
the importance of road safety will be displayed in the Welfare Building.
The organisers are the Sau Mau Ping (South) Estate Community
Work Office, the Royal Hong Kong Police and the Hong Kong Road Safety
Association.
