10      Traffic Police works closely with our strategic partners and the community to promote road safety awareness and influence road user behaviour through our various public education outreach programmes. Our road safety education efforts include large-scale campaigns and regular talks and exhibitions. Campaigns such as the Road Safety Outreach, Road Courtesy Campaign, Shell Traffic Games and Anti-Drink Drive Campaign are usually thematic and their content is tailored according to the prevailing trends in road accidents and road user behaviours. Last year, about 1,084 talks, exhibitions and outreach sessions were conducted to reach out to the public.

11      We will continue with our public education programmes to reach out to road users. In 2006, we have several new initiatives to enhance our outreach. For example, Traffic Police will engage motorcycle clubs in educational institutions as well as recreational clubs to spread safe riding messages. We will also continue to educate the young through the Road Safety Park programme and educational institutions such as child care centres and groups such as the National Police Cadet Corps.
