Back-to-school safety tip #6: If your child walks or bikes to school, help them plan safe routes that minimize exposure to busy roads and dangerous intersections.

Remind them to wait in well-lit areas, cross streets at designated crosswalks, and avoid distractions like headphones while walking near traffic. #BackToSchool #SchoolSafety https://hubs.ly/Q02Lz9Kw0

Bus Safety Tip: Practice good pedestrian behavior by walking on the sidewalk, and if there is no sidewalk stay out of the street. If you must walk in the street, walk single file, face traffic and stay as close to the edge of the road as you can.

This tip is from the National Association for Pupil Transportation. #WyDeptEd #WyoEdChat #SchoolSafety

Back-to-school also means thinking about getting kids to and from school safely, particularly if they walk or ride their bikes. Far too many kids are injured or killed simply on their commutes to and from school.

In the spirit of #NationalRoadSafetyWeek, we previously introduced one of our personas, Abby, and explored what makes her feel safe when walking to school. While safety isn't one-size-fits-all, there are universal elements, such as formalised pedestrian crossings, that enhance road safety in general. Another crucial element in ensuring safety for Abby and others on their way to school are the yellow lines painted along the edge of the road. Do you know how yellow lines around schools keep kids safe? Check out this informative video by Prue Oswin for a detailed explanation. Throughout this month, we'll continue to explore and share insights on how safety is perceived by some of our personas and how this helps us plan safe active transport networks for all.
