A campaign is underway in the central city of Da Nang to encourage children aged six and above to wear helmets on the road.
Under the third phase of the campaign, local police will increase patrols and deal with traffic violations according to a project on promoting action on child helmet use across the city.
Four municipal districts have got involved in the project so far this year, namely Lien Chieu, Son Tra, Cam Le and Hoa Vang.
To reap the best results, the city’s education and training sector came up with an idea to organise a festival for primary school pupils to raise their awareness of the importance of wearing helmets, and launch a campaign to present helmets to underprivileged children.
It is also working with school managing boards to encourage helmet usage among students during their flag-saluting ceremony and civic activities.
Launched by the Asia Injury Prevention Foundation (AIPF), the campaign is being carried out in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.-VNA
