The Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Alexis Vafeadis, chaired a meeting of the Road Safety Council today, Friday, 5 May 2023.
The main objectives of today's meeting of the Road Safety Council were to review the work of the Council during the previous year and to appoint Road Safety Ambassadors for 2023-2024.
For the year 2023-2024, Road Safety Ambassadors Mr. Michael Pavlidis and Mr. Vladimir Tzortzis were appointed. "We believe that the Road Safety Ambassadors will help us as much as possible to achieve our goals, to inform our students about road safety issues and to help us reduce all accidents by raising road awareness among our children," said the Minister.
In relation to the photo-certification measure, Mr. Vafeadis pointed out that, during today's session, particular attention was paid to the problems that exist and how to address them, so that, he said, "we can further upgrade this measure and so that we can proceed with the full implementation of this measure."
In addition, the Minister said that the activity of the Road Safety Park was also discussed at today's session of the Council. "We have concluded that the park offers the greatest contribution to informing students and we discussed measures to further upgrade its operation, aiming at greater participation of students, so that this measure will also help in the perception of problems and what happens when behaviour on the road is not appropriate."
Finally, the Minister referred to the statistics presented at today's session. He said, "The statistics on road fatalities are about the same as last year, we had hoped that they would be a little better even though last year was a very good year, we had significantly reduced fatalities. Our effort is always to improve those numbers and we are committed to continuing to work to keep them as low as possible."
