Traffic pilot

Safe transportation for seniors

Traffic piloting supports the safe movement of the elderly. Anyone who wants to share tips and information in their own community can become a pilot. No special skills are required – Liikenneturva offers support through newsletters and meetings.

• Safe crossing of the road and visibility as a pedestrian
• Cycling and driving safety as you age
• Risks of inattention (e.g. using a mobile phone)
• Review and changes to traffic rules
• Reflectors, seat belts and other equipment
• Planning movement in different seasons (slippery roads, winter weather)
