Traffic education is like a manual that teaches us to be safe while we are on the street. It serves to protect us, teaching us important rules to avoid accidents. When we are in traffic, whether on foot, by bicycle, or by car, we must pay close attention. For example, looking both ways before crossing the street, respecting traffic lights and signs, and always wearing a seat belt in the car are some of the things we must do to ensure our safety and that of others. Additionally, we must be kind and courteous to other drivers and pedestrians, giving space and respecting each other’s rights. For instance, giving way to pedestrians at crosswalks and allowing cars to merge in traffic jams are actions that contribute to more harmonious traffic. Thus, by following the rules and being attentive, we can make the streets safer for everyone.

ACTIVITY PROPOSAL
CAR WITH SENSOR
A car with a sensor is a type of car that has special devices called sensors. These sensors can help in various ways. They can help the driver park the car more easily by detecting obstacles around the car, preventing bumps and scratches. Additionally, sensors can alert the driver if they are too close to another car or object, helping to avoid accidents. Some cars with sensors also have systems that warn the driver if they are drifting out of their lane, helping to keep the car on track. In summary, a car with a sensor helps make driving safer and easier by alerting the driver to potential dangers around the vehicle.
