Watch for and yield to pedestrians in the roadway . Pedestrians are commonly present in residential neighborhoods. Plan your trips . Combine your trips into a single trip with several destinations to reduce congestion and the urge to drive fast. As a parent, set a good example for your children.
Children often learn by watching and imitating their parents.
Your actions as a driver, pedestrian or bicyclist should always set a good example. Do not encourage your children to play in the street. Instead, encourage them to use their own yard, a neighbors yard, or a nearby park. Instruct children in the proper way to cross the street. Tell children not to dawdle, but to cross quickly when safe to do so, and to continue watching for traffic until they are safely on the curb at the other side.
