Road safety education initiatives in Croatia and Montenegro

Overview

In Croatia, police and local authorities have implemented various educational programs aimed at improving road safety for minors and families. In Rijeka, workshops for elementary students focused on pedestrian safety and the visibility risks posed by improperly parked vehicles. Similar efforts occurred in Bilje, where officers taught first-grade students about traffic signs and crosswalk usage. Additionally, in Bjelovar-Bilogora County, police provided training for expectant parents regarding the correct selection and installation of newborn child safety seats.

In Montenegro, the discussion has expanded to include the potential risks of child-related vehicle signage. While stickers such as ‘Baby on Board’ are common, critics have raised concerns that personalized stickers containing a child’s name may expose sensitive information like age and gender, potentially creating privacy risks.
