Here's some user-friendly road safety information to put across to the school community. Just place one of the numbered sections below, under a 'Safe Routes To School' style heading, in the school newsletter each week - ten sections for ten weeks supply. They have trouble judging speed and where sounds are coming from. They lack peripheral vision, are small and hard to see. They tend to think about one thing at a time, and have trouble stopping in time.
Traffic crashes are the biggest killer of school age children.
Park safely and walk to the school gate to pick up or deliver your child. Never call to your child across the road. Have the children use the door on the footpath side - it keeps them away from the traffic. On wet days, use your lights, bring an umbrella and be prepared to walk further than usual. Children will copy your example.
