Elderly road safety publicity activities will also be organised in partnership with Radio Television Hong Kong to educate the elderly on road safety.
Mr Chow also emphasised the Council’s core focus on instilling the correct attitude towards road safety among the younger generation. This year, the Council has organised a Mr Safegg interactive educational drama tour in 25 primary schools. Through lively, interesting and diversified interactive scenarios, students can understand the importance of maintaining a “Keep Your Cool on the Road” mindset.
He sincerely thanked the members of the Council, government departments and other stakeholders for their efforts and contributions. Mr Chow also urged all road users to uphold “Stay Alert, Stay Alive” and “Keep Your Cool on the Road” so as to realise the vision of “Zero Accidents on the Road, Hong Kong’s Goal”.
