In the Russian city of Krasnodar, on April 21, police stopped the traffic so that a family of ducks could cross the road.

The video appeared on social media on April 23. The footage shows how the police put a traffic sign on the roadway when the ducks stepped on the road. After the animals reached the curb, the sign was removed.

The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Krasnodar told Yuga.ru that ducks crossed the road on Uralskaya Street near the traffic police quarantine post.

Birds attracted the attention of traffic inspectors, after which they stopped the movement and organized a safe passage of animals through the roadway. Then the police helped the ducks cross another section of the road.

“Police officers not only ensured the safe passage of the animals themselves, but also took all necessary measures to prevent congestion. We drove some animals to the other side.

It should be noted that the animals were heading towards a nearby pond, literally a few hundred meters away, ”said Artem Konovalenko, head of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Krasnodar.
