For more than two weeks, the campaign "Attention! Children on the Road," initiated by the public association "Alternatyva," has been ongoing in the city of Lutsk. The purpose of the event is to organize the safety of children of primary school age when crossing the roadway at pedestrian crossings. Volunteers in bright capes during rush hour escort children who are not accompanied by adults and, if necessary, conduct explanatory work. Currently, duty has been established near the three "hottest" points – secondary schools No. 4, 8, and 21 in the city of Lutsk. In total, there are about fifteen such points in the city. It was precisely to resolve this problem and reduce the sad statistics of children being hit by car wheels that on February 22, a round table titled "Attention! Children on the Road" was held in the premises of the "Profspilkovyi" educational and methodological center. It was attended by deputies of the Lutsk City Council Nina Bachynska and Mykola Tryhub, the head of the department of the regional traffic police administration for work with the public Serhii Komaretskyi, representatives of the regional and city employment administrations, the city education department, and directors of secondary schools. The experience that is widely applied in European countries must be extended not only to the regional center but also to large cities. Due to the fact that the funds needed to implement the idea are not provided for in the city budget, there is also no legislative support for attracting human resources through employment centers. The participants of the round table decided to bring this issue up for discussion at a session of the Lutsk City Council, parents' committees, and guardianship councils at secondary schools. The participants see a way out of the situation through the use of reserve funds of local budgets.
