The Department of Institutions of the Canton of Ticino has launched a road safety campaign for pedestrians and motorists as part of the "Safer Roads" initiative, in collaboration with the Cantonal Police and the municipal police forces of the Canton of Ticino, with the following objectives:
- Pedestrians were urged to follow basic rules, according to which crossing the road must be done only after ensuring that there are no dangers.
- Motorists were reminded to respect the right of way for pedestrians at pedestrian crossings and, in general, to adopt the concept of defensive driving, according to which it is necessary to adapt speed and be prepared to yield when pedestrians are present.
To make the information and awareness campaign effective, the Cantonal Police and the municipal police forces were also involved.
A television commercial was produced, and informational flyers were distributed by the Cantonal Police and the municipal police forces. In addition to distributing the flyers, repressive controls were also carried out.
Stop. Look and... Go! Three simple rules to stay safe! Check. Slow down... Stop, and you save a pedestrian!
