As families gear up for the festive season, taking proactive steps to ensure children are safe around our roads and driveways is paramount. Here are some ways you can keep kids safe in our city:
Drive with care: Motorists are encouraged to be mindful of the potential presence of children and adjust their speed accordingly. By driving with care and adhering to speed limits, we can significantly contribute to accident prevention.
Educate older children: Parents and guardians are urged to engage in conversations with older children about the importance of paying attention to their surroundings. This includes reducing the use of phones and headphones and using designated pedestrian crossings and traffic lights.
Provide guidance: When near roadways and driveways, it is crucial to hold children's hands to ensure their safety. This simple yet effective measure can prevent unforeseen accidents.
Supervision: A key factor in preventing road and driveway accidents involving child pedestrians is active supervision. By providing consistent attention and direct supervision, we can create safer environments for our children.
