Along with the autumn national traffic safety campaign, a traffic safety class for elementary school students was held online in Tokyo, and police officers taught how to cross a pedestrian crossing through a computer screen.
About 70 first-year students participated in the traffic safety class held at Seigakuin Elementary School in Kita-ku, Tokyo.
This time, an online conference tool was used to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, and police officers provided guidance to children in the classroom from the gymnasium at the venue.
In this session, demonstrations such as how to cross a pedestrian crossing and how to ride a bicycle safely were held in front of the computer screen, and children were learning traffic rules while watching the situation on the classroom screen.
The boy who participated said, "When crossing a pedestrian crossing, check the right, left, and right before crossing."
