Introduction to Transportation and Traffic Signs for Aba Mentari Kindergarten Students at Poltrada Bali Campus

Abstract

Traffic regulations need to be followed by every road user to support orderly, safe, secure, and smooth traffic. The lack of public understanding of traffic laws also poses a separate issue. This should be improved and enhanced to achieve safe and secure traffic. Basic understanding of proper traffic behavior needs to be instilled in young children, such as kindergarten-aged children, so that when they grow into teenagers, they still know how to follow traffic rules correctly. An outreach activity was conducted for the students of TK Aba Mentari at the Bali Land Transportation Polytechnic, located at Jalan Cempaka Putih, Samsam, Kerambitan District, Tabanan Regency, Bali Province. The implementation of this outreach activity was carried out in three stages: the identification stage, the outreach stage, and the evaluation stage. This outreach activity also required media, rooms, equipment, and hands-on practice. The activity was held in the Mini Theater of Building B, which is equipped with good facilities that make the participants comfortable. The media used in this activity included interesting and easy-to-understand presentation materials and the distribution of material books. The increase in knowledge and understanding of traffic signs among all participants can be considered quite good, thus serving as a provision for their life at school, home, and in the community.
