Ride on! The traffic activities provide all 10-17-year-olds interested in motoring with something to do in a very cool environment.

Traffic training as a form of youth work

Traffic training began when the Children’s Traffic Town was founded in 1958. Its purpose is to provide children and adolescents with basic training in traffic skills and reduce the number of accidents in which they are involved.

The goals of traffic training are:
 
 - to get children interested in traffic
 - to ensure that children themselves get about safely in traffic
 - to create a positive attitude to traffic
 - to prevent traffic and other accidents
 - to make traffic signs and rules understandable to children and adolescents

Traffic training for children is intended to prompt an interest in traffic in the minds of children, to ensure that children know how to get about safely in traffic, to create a positive attitude to traffic, to prevent traffic and other accidents as well as to make young people familiar with traffic signs and rules.
