Road Safety Tips
- Getting In and Out of the Car:
○ Always use the door closest to the curb to prevent stepping into trac.
○ Make sure your child waits until the car has completely stopped before exiting.
- Walking Safely:
○ Encourage distraction-free walking by asking your child to remove headphones and put away devices while crossing streets.
○ Teach your child to stay alert, follow trac signals, and use designated pedestrian crossings.
- Using the Bus Safely:
○ Wait at the bus stop together, standing at least one step back from the edge of the road.
○ Always meet your child at the bus stop on the same side of the road—never call them across from the opposite side.
○ Wait for the bus to leave before crossing the street, ensuring it is safe to cross.
- Using Wheeled Transport:
○ Remind your child that helmets are mandatory when riding a bike in public—it’s the law.
○ Encourage helmet use and protective gear for other wheeled activities, such as scooters, skateboards, and rollerblades.
