Take the Safest Route – Always pick the safest route from home to school. Take the time to walk the route with your student before the school year begins and practice walking it. 

Use the Sidewalk – Use public sidewalks and streets whenever possible and if there is not a sidewalk, always walk facing traffic. 

Obey Traffic Laws – Even pedestrians have to obey the rules of the road. Remind your student to recognize and obey traffic signals and pavement markings. Pedestrians should only cross the street at designated crosswalks, street corners and traffic controlled intersections.

Look both Ways - Always look both ways before crossing the street and never enter streets from between obstacles like parked cars, shrubbery, signs, etc. 

Be Visible - Bright color clothing does increase visibility and can help drivers see pedestrians in the early morning hours or at dusk.

Walk In Groups – There is safety in numbers, encourage your student to walk in a group to and from school. Groups are more likely to be seen by drivers.
