On 21/6, a woman carrying one small child and holding another prepared to cross the street. The boy unexpectedly pulled free and darted into the road. A motorcyclist approaching was startled, braked abruptly, and skidded, falling onto the street. The child remained safe, but the motorcyclist sustained injuries.

Children are naturally active and cannot judge vehicle speed or distance. When crossing the road, adults must hold children's hands firmly, ideally at the wrist. This prevents children from breaking free or running off. Ultimately, adults must teach children how to observe and be cautious when crossing streets.

Whether walking or pushing a bicycle, pedestrians crossing the road must look left and right multiple times. They should only cross when no vehicles are approaching. Raising a hand to signal helps drivers recognize their intention from a distance and proactively reduce speed.

Motorcyclists in residential areas should not speed, always maintaining an appropriate pace to handle unexpected situations. Failing to control speed and maintain a safe distance poses a risk of accidents for themselves and other road users.
