The Traffic Police (TP) and Singapore Road Safety Council (SRSC), supported by Shell Companies in Singapore, Bukit Batok Driving Centre, ComfortDelGro Driving Centre, and Singapore Safety Driving Centre, held the 37th Shell Traffic Games prize-giving ceremony on Monday, 13 November 2017 at the Road Safety Community Park. Associate Professor Dr Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Ministry of Social and Family Development & Ministry of Education, graced the event as the Guest-of-Honour.
This event marked the closing of the 37th Shell Traffic Games, which included fun and interactive training sessions for primary school children to educate them on road safety.
Ninety primary schools participated in the preliminary rounds of the games held from January to September 2017. Eight schools made it to the finals to compete for the Shell Challenge Trophy and other prizes. Yumin Primary School emerged as the champion of the 37th Shell Traffic Games.
Three educational animation videos on road safety for children were also unveiled at the event. A joint initiative led by SRSC together with TP and Shell, these videos which were produced by Nanyang Polytechnic and its School of Interactive & Digital Media will share road safety advisories such as the importance of the kerb drill, keeping out of vehicles’ blind spots, and the dangers of crossing roads while distracted.
These videos will be used as an educational tool during road safety talks and will be made available to primary schools and pre-schools.
Ensuring a safe road environment and culture is a collective effort, and it is important to start early by inculcating good RoadSense in children. All road users can do their part to be role models for the young and to stay safe on the roads.
