At Quy Nhon Medical College (Quy Nhon Ward), the traffic safety awareness session held as part of the 2025-2026 academic year orientation was lively and engaging, sparking great interest among students.
Beyond theoretical presentations, students received leaflets and directly participated in identifying traffic violations through real-life scenario videos presented and analyzed by officers from the Provincial Traffic Police Department.
Nguyen Ngoc Ha, a student from the Nursing Faculty, shared: “Seeing violations firsthand and their consequences made me genuinely concerned. I now better understand the dangers of reckless overtaking, entering ‘blind spots,’ or using a phone while driving. From now on, I’ll be much more careful when participating in traffic.”
At an extracurricular session organized by Le Loi Secondary School (Quy Nhon Ward) in collaboration with the provincial Traffic Police Department and Trung Hung HEAD System, traffic safety education was also delivered in a dynamic and practical manner.
Students were taught how to properly wear helmets, the correct posture and safe operation of electric bicycles, and participated in interactive games to identify traffic signs and handle various situations.
Notably, the real-time (RT) traffic simulation model allowed students to role-play as vehicle operators in scenarios such as running red lights or crossing the street improperly.
Trao Le Khanh Linh, a ninth-grade student, said: “I really enjoy this method of education because it feels like real practice, making it easier to remember and understand why we need to be careful in traffic.”
Major Nguyen Quang Thanh, from Road Traffic Police Team No. 4 (Provincial Traffic Police Department), stated: “We don’t just disseminate the law; we focus on developing situational handling skills and building correct behaviors.
For younger students, we use visual, easy-to-understand models. For high school and college students, we emphasize the legal consequences and civic responsibility.
Effective communication requires targeting the right audience with the right methods to achieve real change.”
Traffic safety education in schools now goes beyond legal and skills dissemination, becoming more systematic and closely integrated into the official curriculum.
This approach creates opportunities for students to participate directly, fostering self-awareness from an early age.
At Tran Quang Dieu High School (An Tuong Commune), traffic safety education is systematically incorporated into subjects such as Economic and Legal Education, National Defense Education, and is reinforced through extracurricular activities and recess broadcasts.
At the start of the school year, students register their means of transportation, and both students and parents sign commitments to comply with traffic safety regulations. Adherence to the Road Traffic Safety Law is included in the school’s evaluation and conduct criteria.
Principal Bui Xuan Dung of Tran Quang Dieu High School emphasized: “We consider traffic safety education a long-term mission. We combine awareness campaigns with monitoring and handling violations, while constantly innovating our methods so students can easily absorb the information and develop habits of legal compliance when participating in traffic.”
According to the Provincial Traffic Police Department, from September 3 to date, traffic police teams and stations, in coordination with local police, have organized 18 traffic safety awareness sessions at schools for the 2025-2026 academic year, attracting over 17,300 students and teachers. They have also distributed 550 helmets and numerous gifts, conducted 91 mobile loudspeaker campaigns, hung 3 banners, and handed out 1,525 traffic safety leaflets.
Similarly, Phan Boi Chau High School No. 2 (Dien Hong Ward) has established a “Traffic Safety School Gate” model and formed a rapid response team to maintain order at the school entrance.
At the beginning and end of each school day, team members work with security staff to manage traffic flow, remind students, and check for helmet use, vehicle documents, and driving licenses, thereby fostering a culture of safe traffic practices.
Principal Dao Thuy Hau shared, “We also have students and parents sign commitments not to violate traffic rules.
As a result, congestion at the school gate during peak hours has significantly decreased, and students’ awareness has markedly improved.”
In addition, the traffic police have intensified patrols, enforcement, and coordination with schools and local authorities to monitor vehicles around school areas. Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Hong Vang, Deputy Head of the Provincial Traffic Police Department, said: “We encourage and require parking lots near schools to commit not to accept vehicles from students who do not meet legal requirements.
At the same time, we are ramping up education efforts, providing guidance on safe traffic participation, distributing helmets, and handing out leaflets to help students understand the law.”
