Children and Pedestrian Safety
Teaching your children about Pedestrian Safety
can help keep them safe as they travel to school or to a friend’s house.
Children running out onto the street is the number one cause of fatal pedestrian accidents involving children.
Tell your young child that they must always be accompanied by an adult when crossing the street.
Make sure your child knows that he or she should always cross at an intersection or a crosswalk and to look both ways before crossing the street.
Lastly discourage your child from stepping onto the street in between parked cars. Motorists can often miss them this way. And remind them to always be aware of cars that might be turning or backing up.
