The knowledge regarding road traffic rules was assessed before and after the conduction of structured teaching program on road traffic rules. The conceptual framework of the study was based on Modified General System Theory by Ludwig von Bertalanffy. The study was conducted among 30 children whose age was between 6 to 13 years. The data was collected and analysed based on objectives of the study using descriptive and inferential statistics based on the objectives of the study. The obtained mean post-test 21.8 was much higher than the mean pre-test 7.5. The obtained ‘t’ value 17.48 was significant. The study revealed that the knowledge regarding road traffic rules was significantly improved after the conduction of structured teaching program.
