Children and young people's role
We all want our children and young people to remain safe on the roads, particularly when arriving at or leaving school.
We will aim to help you stay safe, but we also need you to be careful too. Look after yourself, your family and your friends every time you go near a road.
Listen and learn when you are told about road safety;
- Road safety is important everywhere, not just at school;
- Lots of people can help you learn about road safety - not just your teacher, or your parents / carer; and
- Tell your family and friends what you've learned.
Here are a few things you should never do:
- Never run between parked cars even if you are late;
- Never use your mobile phone when crossing a road;
- Never ride in a car without a seat belt; and
- Never cross the road if you can’t see it is clear both ways.
