STA. BARBARA, Pangasinan -- The Sta. Barbara Police has made pedestrian warning signages from recycled tires and will repaint pedestrian lanes in three schools here, in support to the “Brigada Eskwela” 2018.
Police Senior Inspector Allan Abuan, deputy chief of police of Sta. Barbara Police Station, in an interview on Friday, said the recipients are Maningding Elementary School, Matic-Matic Elementary, and Balingueo Elementary School.
Abuan disclosed that the signages were made of used tires donated by their friends and the policemen themselves.
“We painted the tires white and the lettering (Children Crossing) red, so it would be visible. The two tires were put together with an iron rod,” he said.
Abuan said two signages will be donated to each of the school recipients. “One to the left lane and one to the right lane,” he added.
Abuan said they will also repaint the faded pedestrian lanes in the three schools.
“We have already submitted a request letter to the Department of Public Works and Highways for the repainting of these pedestrian lanes, but since the school year will soon start, we will just repaint while waiting for the response to our request,” he said.
Aside from this, they will also assist in the cleaning and repairs of the schools, said Abuan.
