Road safety campaigns

The continuous concern for the improvement of road safety in Romania demonstrated by Industrie Mică Prahova SA manifested itself in the signing of the European Road Safety Charter in 2012, but also through numerous initiatives in this area, such as:

  1.  Your Safety Matters Also In Traffic! – road safety campaign for kindergarten children and school children implemented in 2016 and 2019
  2. You Are Free To Travel Without Any Events! 2018.

 

The two above-mentioned campaigns were nominated in Prahova Community Gala in 2018 and 2019.

Drumul in siguranta, the weblog launched by Industrie Mica Prahova as part of the commitment signed with the European Road Safety Charter, constantly brings out to the public opinion the issue of road safety and the importance of good signalling in traffic.

Road markings are not used for making the road look good in early spring. Through the articles published on the Drumul in siguranta weblog, the company attempts to emphasize both the role of road markings and that of traffic signs in cutting down the number of victims on the road.

Your Safety Matters Also In Traffic!

Drumul in siguranta weblog and Industrie Mica Prahova SA started the project called Your Safety Matters Also In Traffic!, an initiative meant to promote the safe behaviour of children in traffic.
