-          24 meetings with drivers of cars, transit and public transports, who permanently use the E60 highway;

-          Educational trainings for about 1500 schoolchildren from 15 schools located near the highway.

The meetings included both the theoretical and practical parts, among them measures for visibility and giving the light reflective means (reflectors, waistcoats) to the pedestrians. Within the campaign there were held a number of joint events together with the private and public sectors. The famous people were also participating in solidarity campaign of the project.

The project was implemented by Roads Department of the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia and non-governmental organization “Partnership for Road Safety”, and was funded by the World Bank.
