Road Police Day in Kazakhstan
November 23 · Level 5 · #1215 of 2238
Kazakhstan's Road Police Day honors the officers who keep traffic in order and help prevent crashes. It is a good moment to thank the people in reflective vests.
How it is celebrated: officers receive awards, units often show off their vehicles, schoolchildren get road-safety lessons, and drivers are reminded to buckle up and watch their speed.
Kazakhstan is the ninth-largest country in the world, and towns here can be hundreds of kilometres apart, so there is plenty of road to watch over.
