Roadway Safety Resources for Children
How to be Safe on the Roadway Video
It is important for us all to know how to stay safe when we’re on the roadway. This video is designed for children and discusses three different types of roadway safety - pedestrian safety, bicycle safety and ways to be safe as a passenger in a car.
Ruff Ruffman - Driving
The “Driving” digital initiative provides resources to encourage kids to become better passengers and to play an active role in helping parents to keep their eyes on the road. The campaign’s unusual approach tunes into the idea that kids are acutely aware of their parents’ distraction, especially when they are driving.
