Getting to and from School
If your child/ren are walking/biking/scootering to or from school can you please go over with them how to do this safely. Over the past few weeks we have had a number of reports of our children not being very safe when they are walking/biking/scootering to or from school. Below are some general tips.
How to stay safe when walking
- Use pedestrian crossings or cross at traffic signals.
- Stop and check at every driveway.
- Walk on the footpath, close to the houses and away from the road.
- Hold hands if walking with a young child near roads or in car parks.
Crossing the road, when there’s no pedestrian crossing
- be patient and cross the road only when it’s safe to do so (it takes time for a vehicle to stop)
- then use the kerb drill:
- Stop one step back from the kerb.
- Look and listen for traffic coming from all directions.
- If there is traffic coming, wait until it has passed and then look and listen for traffic again.
- If there is no traffic coming, walk quickly straight across the road.
- While crossing, look and listen for traffic, wherever it may come from.
When using a pedestrian crossing
- Use official crossings where possible – in fact, if you’re within 20 metres of a pedestrian crossing, the law requires you to use it.
- Check that approaching vehicles have seen you and can stop before you step out.
- Cross as quickly as you are able.
- For crossings with signals, only cross when the green person or message shows.
