The Local Police of Cartagena continues with the commitment for Road Safety and participates, one more year, in the EDWARD International Project, which is scheduled to coincide with the European Day without victims on the roads, which is commemorated next Wednesday September 19 .
This time the agents will have an informative point in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, which will be directed to pedestrians.
The European Police Network TIPSOL organizes every year, in collaboration with the Directorate General of Traffic, a road safety campaign known as EDWARD project - by the acronym in English of European Day Without A Road Death - which aims to promote awareness in the European Day without fatal road accidents.
This year, the Local Police of Cartagena will develop in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., an informative campaign oriented especially to pedestrians, which will consist of conducting alcohol detection tests to people who want to undergo voluntarily and inform about the commitments of this European day.
The main objective of the campaign is to inform about the importance of road safety and that in the long term, a significant change in reducing the number of victims and injured on the roads of the municipality and around the world.
More than 30 countries belong to TIPSOL, including Spain, where the Local Police of Cartagena collaborates with this initiative in favor of Road Safety.
This project aims to ensure that no one dies on public roads in traffic accidents and uses the mechanisms that favor the awareness of drivers and road users.
