1,200 Educated By Road Safety Display

The effectiveness of simple, graphic illustrations to educate the public in road safety rules was well demonstrated at the Australian Road Safety Council’s mobile display at the Show. In the two days it was open it is estimated 1200 people passed through the caravan.
One of the most forceful aspects of the display was a large panel with a series of traffic breaches each designated with a number. By pressing a button the viewer turned on a light in another panel which explained the breach.
A special section aimed at educating motor cyclists showed possible accidents against the background of a papier mache skull.

The exhibit aimed at educating all sections of the public – motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and children.

The push-button arrangement enabled the entire display to be run on a question-and-answer basis and is possibly the best system of education the Council
