National Police of Haiti (PNH) to be equiped with speed radars

In a second phase of the traffic and pedestrian safety project, the French Embassy has developed a proactive program for Haitian school children to learn pedestrian traffic safety rules. The training will progress one school at a time, beginning July 27th. In Petion-Ville, instructors will teach the students at Ecole Jules Verne Premier, its pilot school. The trainers will screen a training film and then invite students to share their observations and ask questions. A French UNPOL will moderate the discussion and a pedestrian code of conduct pamphlet will be handed out at the end of the session. The school children will be encouraged to share and discuss the information with their parents and other family members.

Ambassador Le Bret said other improvements to traffic and pedestrian safety are in the works, such as marked pedestrian cross-walks in Port-au-Prince and arterial stop-and-go traffic lights on speedways that will help prevent accidents and save driver and pedestrian lives.
