With the increase of oversized SUV type vehicles, it is easy not to see kids in school parking lots. If you drive a van or SUV or large anything, take extra care to look before you drive. If you are a kid on the way to school, walk facing traffic, watch what cars approaching you are doing, and stay out of the roadway when you can. If you don t make eye contact with the driver of a car while you are walking or crossing a street, which means that the driver might not know you are there. Wait to make eye contact with drivers before crossing a street.
Crosswalks don t have huge concrete walls on either side.
Always stop and look before crossing any road. Wear light colored clothing on those days when it is dark going to or coming home from school. If you are on a bicycle, wear your helmet and use the lights that are required by law. October 31st is Halloween. This year it is on a Wednesday.
