When not in the Car:


• Remember, our children copy US! It’s never too early to start talking to your child about road safety.


• Explain what traffic is, that traffic uses the road and people who are walking use the pavement.


• Use the Green Cross Code and set a good example by using safer crossing places correctly with your child.


• Always hold hands with younger children.
