Police officers from the Police Station in Čaška and the Police Station for Public Safety in Štip conducted preventive activities today titled "Buckle Up," emphasizing to citizens that wearing a seatbelt is a legal obligation for both drivers and passengers in vehicles, aimed at enhancing personal safety. Meanwhile, police officers from the Prevention Department and the Traffic Safety Police Station at the Regional Police Directorate in Veles carried out a preventive activity yesterday to raise awareness among drivers, primarily urging them not to operate vehicles under the influence of alcohol, given that alcohol severely impairs driving skills, disrupts psychomotor abilities, and poses a serious threat to their safety and that of other road users. In Skopje and Kočani, the focus of the preventive activities was on the safety of pedestrians, who, as active participants in traffic, also have a duty to adhere to traffic rules and regulations, highlighting that they should cross the street at designated crosswalks and refrain from using headphones and mobile phones while doing so. As part of the activities, printed educational materials were distributed.
