1. A Lesson for My Child
Mom! Mom, my teacher taught me
About different means of transportation
Airplanes – flying in the sky
Cars – driving on the road
Boats, canoes too
Traveling on water, Mom, I know
I remember my teacher's words
When on the road, I must always stay
On the sidewalk for safety
While riding in vehicles
Never stick my head out the window
At an intersection, when the light turns red
I must stop and wait
When it turns yellow, I prepare
Only when it's green can I go
My teacher's lessons stay in my heart
I'll never forget them.
Collected.


2. Crossing the Street
Before crossing the street, look both ways
At intersections, watch for trains slowing down
When the light is red, don't cross
Drinking too much? Never drive after drinking
Stay on the road, sidewalks, and lanes
Control your speed, yield to oncoming traffic
Road safety culture is essential
Let's all show respect for it, bringing peace to all.
Collected.


3. Traffic Signs
Driving on the road requires attention
If you're unaware of traffic signs, it's unsafe.
The triangular sign painted yellow
Indicates danger, something to remember.
A red-ringed circular sign tells you
It's a no-entry sign, don't go against the flow.
An arrow pointing in any direction
With a cross through it signals a fine for violation.
The rectangular blue sign you will see
Gives clear directions, showing the way for you to be.
On the smooth national highway
Yellow lines warn you not to stray.
If you do, what's the consequence?
Crossing lanes might bring punishment in defense.
No matter if you're traveling near or far
Respecting the law is the mark of a civilized star.
Riding a motorcycle is no game
Speeding, cutting corners is dangerous, it's not the same.
Ignoring the law, dismissing the police
Violating rules, thinking you'll find release.
Underage, no driving license in hand
Riding recklessly, thinking you can withstand.
Your life is precious, don't take it for granted
Brain injuries, often fatal, can't be prevented.
Wear a helmet, stay protected
In case of accidents, your head will be respected.
Collected.


4. Traffic Order
Traffic order and safety
Is an essential rule to always follow
From the countryside to the city
Road accidents have been rising rapidly
Cars, motorcycles, and pedestrians
Each must stay in their designated lanes, no pushing
Human life is more valuable than gold
A moment of carelessness can lead to a life lost in vain.
Collected.


5. A Word of Advice
Choo choo! The train is speeding
Hurry up, it's moving fast
Don't play around
Accidents can happen
If you see
When the train passes by
Please step aside
Don't throw stones
If someone is causing harm
Report it right away
Follow the rules of daily traffic
And always obey them well.
Collected.


6. Remember Your Wife's Words
Remember my dear, as I told you
Drink a little, then have your meal
If you feel a bit tipsy
Rest for a while, don't go out on the road.
Before getting on the bike, check the mirrors
Fasten your helmet, no distractions
If you're determined to go
Make sure all your documents are in order.
At intersections, slow down
So you can stay in your lane, don't rush.
When it gets dark, and the road is slick
Accidents can happen when you least expect
To stay safe, ease off the gas
Rushing or overtaking is never wise.
Before you turn, signal first
And check the road before overtaking.
Even though you're loved by many
It's dangerous to talk on the phone while driving
Stop safely if there's something urgent
Signal slowly and keep your vehicle close to the side.
Passing a school or hospital gate
There are many children crossing the street
Always keep this in mind
Honking your horn won't help.
Children can be curious and playful
Sometimes walking the wrong way
These words of mine, so caring
As you travel far, remember them well
In your heart, you'll find a guiding light
And return home safe to your family.
Collected.


7. Traffic Rhymes
Listen to the rhymes, listen to the law
Learn the rules of the road
The new traffic laws
That have just been passed
Our village is coming together
To spread the word
From the village square to the city streets
We are spreading the message
Through posters and flyers
Making sure it reaches everyone
So that all can read and understand.
Collected.


8. Tý's Dream
Mom! Mom, listen!
I'm doing well in school
Mom asked Tý:
Well, what will you do with that?
Tý whispered:
"I will become
A police officer
And stand guard
At the intersection
So people can cross
Safely all the time
Now stop here
The red light's on!
Slow down please
The yellow light's flashing!
You can go ahead
The green light's on!
Mom laughed gently
And praised Tý
Tý was excited
Laughing all the way!
Skipping around the house
Tý will be
A police officer!"
Collected from various sources.


9. The Traffic Police Officer
Wearing a cap on his head
White gloves on his hands
Despite the scorching sun
In the middle of the intersection
His stick points in every direction
People move as they should
His staff raised high
All stop at once
When he opens his arms wide
Traffic flows from both sides
Whether ahead or behind
Don't be afraid to wait
Everyone reminds each other
Wait for the officer's signal.
Collected by.


10. The Female Traffic Officer
She stands tall at the intersection
A symbol of law with grace and might
Her hand signals swiftly, with precision
Her braid sways with every motion
Who wouldn't notice her as she directs?
She whistles, unaffected and carefree
Oh, don't be fooled by her charm
One glance sideways could cost you dearly.
