National Walk Safely To School Day (#WSTSD) is a day where kids are encouraged to walk and commute safely to school (as the lovely Kanishka and Jiya from Burwood East Primary School have shown us here).⁣ ⁣ It’s also a reminder for motorists to slow down and practise patience in school zones.⁣ ⁣ Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or carer – everyone has a role to play in helping children develop lifelong road safety skills and keeping our roads safe.⁣ ⁣ If you’re walking your children to school today, remember:⁣ ✔️ check for moving vehicles before crossing⁣ ✔️ hold their hand firmly⁣ ✔️ put away any distractions when around the road.⁣ ⁣ If you’re travelling in and around school zones today, remember:⁣ ✔️ drive slowly as per displayed speed limits⁣ ✔️ be aware of your surroundings⁣ ✔️ do not drive distracted.
