Both Traffic Kowloon West (T KW) and Traffic New Territories South (T NTS) would like to see education on road safety start early for the younger generation. That's why both have organised publicity events for children, parents and elders.

T KW staged the "Road Safety Angel Talent Show" on January 9. Officiating at the event were T KW Chief Inspector Au Yeung Hoi, Assistant District Officer (Yau Tsim Mong), Miss Ng Wai-chung, Assistant District Officer (Sham Shui Po), Mr Wai Chun-yin, Hong Kong Road Safety Patrol (HKRSP) KW Regional Commander, Mr Elkan Chan, as well as the chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of the three road safety campaign committees in KW.

A total of 150 kids from six kindergartens in KW participated in the show to promote road safety with various performances, including singing, dramas and foot drill. Their performance before over 400 elders and parents were rewarded with a variety of prizes.
