On Wednesday, May
28, 2021, the SXM Road Safety Association organized a day dedicated to road
safety, for the benefit of the youth of Quartier d'Orléans.
The purpose of the
association is to supervise and support young people from school in their adult
life, to promote social ties as well as the development of civic values
through school projects, to fight against dropping out of school, the
prevention of delinquency, the problems of integration and professional
integration.
This Wednesday, 70
children and adolescents, aged 6 to 16, benefited from road safety awareness
including:
Knowledge of the
highway code adapted to 06/11 years and 12/16 years,
road track,
fight against
addictions (alcohol and drugs),
introduction to
training for the Road Safety Certificate (driving a scooter) using a two-wheel
simulator and expert advice from the Saint-Martin firefighters.
The associations
of Quartier Orléans, the college of Quartier Orléans, SEMSAMAR, the family protection
brigade (National Gendarmerie), as well as the firefighters of Saint-Martin
made a strong contribution to this event.
On this occasion,
an operation to hand over reflective vests to participants was carried out
during this day. The Prefecture of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélémy offered
some 30 reflective
vests, thus allowing children and adolescents to be more visible on
the axes of Saint-Martin.
Good visibility
for the driver in traffic is essential. This is supervised to guarantee its
safety, that of its passengers and other road users. Several “road safety” days
are scheduled by ASR SXM. Other distributions of reflective vests will be
organized in this context.
