What are the top 5 Road Safety rules for my child?
Walk with your child and talk with your child about pedestrian safety! These top 5 tips will help you show your child how to cross the street safely: • STOP – Think, Look and Listen for vehicles – check both ways before crossing the road. • Cross only at intersections. Never cross in the middle of the street or between parked cars and never run onto the road. • Recognize and follow the crossing signals. But even when the signal tells you it is safe to walk, make sure the street is clear and all cars have stopped before crossing. • Watch out for cars coming out of driveways and alleys. • Use streets with sidewalks. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic, away from the road if possible, and in single file.
