According to Niyazbekov, the main goal of the event is to reduce the number of traffic accidents and strengthen the responsibility of road users. He noted that this year there has been a decrease in the number of accidents compared to the previous year.
As part of the event, drivers who are stopped are given new editions of traffic rules containing information about road signs and driver responsibilities.
Additionally, participants of the event are given water and dates for those who are fasting, as well as mugs and thermoses with images of road signs.
Call to Follow Traffic Rules
Emergency service employees also appealed to citizens, reminding them of the importance of yielding to vehicles with flashing lights.
Ambulance driver Aibek Omorov noted that some drivers do not understand how crucial quick assistance is in emergencies and do not yield the road. He urged everyone to pay attention to this issue, emphasizing that it also applies to fire services.
According to him, with the increase in traffic density on the roads in recent years, the work of emergency services has become more complicated.
"Every family sooner or later calls for an ambulance. We will definitely come to you, so we ask: help us, yield the road," he emphasized.
Most drivers who were stopped by the UPSM and GUOBDD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs support the initiative and goals of the event.
One participant of the event noted that he often observes violations by other drivers. "This is wrong, as safety comes first," he added.
A woman who received a collection of traffic rules expressed her gratitude, as she intended to update her knowledge.
"The event is useful, thanks to all the organizers. It is necessary to restore order on the roads, as many drivers ignore the rules," she added.
Nadyrbek Jusupov, a representative of the press service of the UPSM for the GUVD, emphasized that every person is a participant in road traffic until they reach their destination. He urged everyone to strictly adhere to traffic rules, noting that this is not only a matter of fines but also a matter of life.
