Understanding traffic, not memorising it.
Targalt teel is an interactive online course for 7–12 year-olds that prepares them for real-world traffic — playful, evidence-based, and easy to navigate.
Why it matters
Estonian road-safety surveys and a developmental-psychology expert assessment from the University of Tartu paint a clear picture:

What kids learn
Four pillars that build a safe, conscious traffic participant from an early age.
Notice traffic
Spotting pedestrians, light vehicles, and cars around them — the first step to a safe decision.
Read the signs
What signs mean and how to use them in real situations, not just in pictures.
Practise situations
Intersections, lights, equal-priority roads — flexible response, not rote repetition.
Check the bike
Brakes, lights, tyres, helmet — a safe ride starts with a bike that's ready.
See how it works
Playful, interactive exercises with real traffic situations — here's a sample where the child learns to make a left turn.
Sample: Left turn
Question 1 / 3 · 1s
I'm approaching the intersection. What should I keep in mind?
Question 2 / 3 · 9s
What did the cyclist do before reaching the intersection?
Question 3 / 3 · 15s
What should I watch for after crossing the intersection?
Who Targalt teel is for
One product that speaks to three different needs.
For parents
A solid base for talking about traffic with your child — what to point at, what to explain, how to set the right example.
For teachers
Primary-grade classroom material that complements school traffic education with a visual, interactive experience.
For schools
A scalable solution that integrates into your traffic-education programme — kids learn at their own pace.
Grounded in science
It makes sense to start traffic-safety training as early as possible. Starting cycling education early gives the rules a chance to become habitual by the time a child reaches their early teens.
Age-appropriate methods
Heavy visuals and concrete activity for 7–8 year-olds; complex situational discussion for 11–12 year-olds.
Understanding, not cramming
Children learn the why behind the rules — so they can apply them to situations they haven't seen before.
Standing in for experience
Cycling skills automate over years. We rehearse safe decisions before the child meets real traffic.
