In anticipation of Knowledge Day, specialists from the city services complex have installed more than 10,000 duplicate signs “Caution, children!” on the capital’s roads. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.
"Traditionally, with the beginning of a new school year, the number of children and teenagers on the streets of the city increases, so before September 1, work was carried out to update the road markings near schools, kindergartens, cultural and leisure centers, libraries and sports complexes. This year, over 10 thousand "Caution, children!" signs were applied, which duplicate the "Children" road sign on the roadway," noted Petr Biryukov.
The main purpose of the additional markings is to warn the driver that in this area they need to be prepared for the sudden appearance of a child on the road. This means that they need to slow down and be extremely careful.
The "Caution, Children!" marking is applied manually with cold plastic – it is more durable, does not require preliminary heating and therefore does not deform during work. The material contains special glass beads that enhance the reflection of light. This increases the visibility of the marking and makes traffic on the roads safer.
Road marking work was carried out mainly at night, which required partially blocking traffic.
