Five thousand traffic publicity posters were sent to institutions such as long-distance passenger transportation companies, travel agencies, school bus units and car rental outlets. Traffic safety classes have been introduced to 379 schools in Harbin. The city also sent 5.55 million text messages about safe travel to people on holidays, engaged in major activities, or exposed to bad weather.
