The municipality invites residents to use public transport for trips on the first day of the school year, which will be free on that day. E-tickets or code tickets in Riga buses, trolleybuses and trams will not need to be registered. A smaller flow of private transport traffic in the city also ensures a smoother flow of public transport, according to the municipality.
When the school season starts again, the municipality calls on drivers to be especially careful, as well as to treat children who have returned to the city after the summer vacation with understanding. Before starting or resuming school, the municipality invites parents of children to discuss road safety rules with their children and remind them about safe behavior on the streets.
Also, the municipality calls on those who use bicycles and electric scooters to be especially careful, as children tend to be very active and change their trajectory unpredictably.
The municipality informs that annual informational posters have been installed on the country’s main highways near the Riga border, reminding of the recommended driving speed – 30 kilometers per hour – near educational institutions.
Also, in the city throughout the construction season – until late autumn, various construction works and pavement restoration works continue. The municipality calls on road users to be understanding during the construction works and to replan the usual routes to avoid the repair work sites, or to allow for a longer time to be spent on the road in order to reach the required destination on time.
