Tell your children to never enter the street from between high snow banks.  Drivers won’t be able to see a child until they are in the street.  At that point it could be too late and a child could get run over.

As the new school year begins, many children will walk to and from school.  Make sure your kids are aware of all traffic before crossing any street.  Also when driving your own car, be aware of children that could dart out into the roadway at any time.  20% of 5 to 9 year olds killed in traffic accidents were pedestrians.

Students must be careful when crossing streets even in school zones. A study showed 1 of 6 school zone drivers is distracted with a cell phone.

Children don’t develop a sense of danger until they are 7 or 8. This is after many of them begin walking to school and crossing streets. Make sure your kids know when it is safe to cross the street when walking to school. Dangerous accidents do happen!

Children often think that if they can see a car, the driver of the car can see them. They also believe that cars can stop at any split second. Teach your kids the facts before having them walk to school.
