Beijing launches traffic safety activity

An activity with the theme "safe and civilized travel" was held in Beijing's Daxing district to mark this year's National Traffic Safety Day, which fell on Dec 2. 

During the event, chief safety officer of the Eastern Pioneer Driving School Liu Shi reproduced mistakes that pedestrians and vehicles might make while using a zebra crossing, and demonstrated how third parties should use these crossings safely in accordance with laws and regulations.

Long Geng, the first level-1 national motor vehicle driving instructor in Beijing, offered field-based guidance on proper driving.

Liu Rui, a lecturer at the Beijing Traffic Safety Publicity and Education Base, issued an online initiative for strengthening traffic safety in rural areas.

The base, unveiled 10 years ago, has received more than a million visitors, helping more people learn the importance of traffic safety.
