Apeejay School, Saket students learn the fascinating world of road rules and regulations
A hands-on experience in responsible citizenship, traffic awareness, and safety practices
Learning does not cease at the textbook or end-term exams. Education involves effective and correct conduct in real-life scenarios. Awareness about our everyday world is crucial. And when it comes to road safety, it is an absolute must. Students must understand traffic rules not just for their own safety, but also for the safety of others. Education and development are chain reactions—our actions directly determine the fate of others.
Keeping this in mind, students of Class 7 from Apeejay School, Saket, visited the Traffic Training Park, where they were introduced to the fascinating world of road rules and regulations. The park, designed like a miniature city with roads, signals, zebra crossings, and signboards, gave them the perfect environment to learn through practice.
The session began with officers explaining the importance of traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, and the significance of helmets and seatbelts. Students were also told about the dangers of using mobile phones on the road, be it for calls, selfies, or even recording short video reels—a reminder that the road is never a play zone. With relatable examples, they understood how small lapses in judgment can cause big accidents.
What made the learning memorable was the hands-on element. Students took turns acting as pedestrians, cyclists, and even mock drivers, navigating through the lanes of the park. They experienced first-hand how discipline, attentiveness, and respect for rules keep traffic flowing smoothly and lives safe.
The children particularly enjoyed recognising the various road signs—Stop, No Parking, School Zone, and Speed Limit boards—which they often see but rarely pause to understand. By walking through the training park, the concepts became more than mere signs; they became real lessons in responsible living.
The visit was not only fun but also a serious wake-up call. It encouraged the students to carry forward the message of safety into their daily lives, ensuring they become responsible citizens who care for their community.
As the day concluded, one thought echoed among the young learners: following traffic rules is not just a responsibility but also a way of showing care and respect for others. For these young citizens of tomorrow, the Traffic Training Park was more than an excursion—it was a life lesson.
