FROM THE HISTORY OF ROAD RULES The first strict requirements for traffic rules (to avoid injury) in Russia were brought “to the attention of the general public” in the 18th century. For the first time in Russia, a cab driver received a driver's license in 1784.

2 slide

REQUIREMENTS FOR RULES In the city, coachmen should only ride bridled horses at a slow trot, and soon they should not ride at all. When you happen to approach an intersection, look around in all directions so that you don’t cause damage to anyone or run into someone. You can't overtake carriages on bridges, but on the contrary, it's a long and slow ride. For walking on foot, large stone blocks are placed near the houses. Do not stand on horseback on these stones, so as not to interfere with walking. On the streets, coachmen should never shout, whistle, ring or jingle.

The first traffic light appeared in England in 1868. It was a two-section gas lamp (red and green). The third section (yellow) was replaced by a traffic controller. He blew the whistle, warning that one signal was about to be replaced by another. In Russia, the first three-section traffic light appeared in 1929 in Moscow.

WHY WERE THESE COLORS CHOSEN FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS? The red color is very noticeable. That's why many road signs are outlined in red. The color red is associated with the idea of ​​fire and danger. He calls for caution. That is why the red signal was assigned to stop vehicles and pedestrians. The yellow color resembles the sun. It warns: “Attention! Be careful. Do not rush!" Green color is safety. Green color is fields, meadows, forests. That is, everything that is associated with peace and relaxation.

APPEARANCE OF ROAD SIGNS In Russia, under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, for the first time, high pillars began to be installed at every verst (milestones) between Moscow and the village of Kolomenskoye. They were nicknamed “Kolomna versts.” Under Peter I, the pillars on large roads began to be painted with stripes. They still exist today and are called kilometer signs.
