Children’s Traffic Town

Children’s Traffic Town will be out of use during the 2024–2026 school years.

Due to the expansion of Laakso General Hospital, Traffic Town will temporarily be relocated from the area to ensure safety and comfort. The City of Helsinki is not giving up the current site, and the closure is only temporary.

For the time being, Traffic Town is freely accessible with your own equipment. Please note that there is a large construction site and heavy construction traffic in the surrounding area. Exercise extra caution and follow the signs when arriving at Traffic Town!

Children’s Traffic Town has served as a learning environment for traffic safety for children in Helsinki’s Laakso district since 1958. Plans are underway to temporarily relocate the activities to eastern Helsinki. The exact location has not yet been determined, but current information indicates that operations at the new Traffic Town will begin in summer 2026. The intention is for Traffic Town activities to resume in the Laakso district during 2028.

Up-to-date information about the situation will be posted on nuorten.hel.fi and on Children’s Traffic Town’s Instagram @liikennekaupunki.

Children’s Traffic Town thanks all its visitors!
