Walk Safely to School Day is a reminder that road safety starts with the little habits we build every day. 🚸
Whether children are walking, riding or scooting to school, today is about helping kids get to school safely – and reminding adults that school zones are not the place to channel your inner formula 1 driver.
Pedestrians (especially littles ones with big backpacks) are among Victoria’s most vulnerable road users. Slowing down and staying alert around schools can make a real difference.
If you’re walking with children today, remember:
✔️Stop, look, listen and think before crossing.
✔️Hold hands near roads and car parks.
✔️Use supervised crossings where possible.
✔️Put phones and distractions away near traffic.
If you’re driving through school zones:
✔️Slow down – yes, even if you’re running late
✔️Watch for children stepping out unexpectedly.
✔️Take extra care near crossings, buses and parked cars.
✔️Stay focused – multitasking can wait
