SCHOOL SAFETY TIPS WALKING TO SCHOOL
Every day millions of children take to the streets to go to and from school. They walk, ride bicycles, take buses and arrive in automobiles. For many children this experience is a new one and they may not understand safety rules. Young children do not have the same concept of safety as adults. They may not look before they leap, which is why it is so important for parents to supervise young children and practice safety with their older children. The safety tips listed here will help you, as parents, prepare your children for a safe journey.
BUS STOPS
• Parents should walk or bike the route prior to school starting and look for any possible hazards the child may encounter and identify a safe place to go if the child needs help. • Stop, look and listen before crossing the street. Always cross at the crosswalk and obey traffic signals. • Walk or bike with a friend. It is safer and more fun with a buddy. • Go directly to school and directly home afterward. • Do not play in vacant fields or lots. • Stay on the sidewalk or bike path and do not take short cuts. • If someone approaches you or makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t talk to them and keep walking or riding. • If a vehicle is following you, turn around and run the other way. • Don’t put your name on clothing, backpacks, books or lunch boxes that are visible to others. • If approached by a dog, do not run. Do not touch the dog. Stand still and tell the dog to go home. If the dog will not leave, slowly back away from the dog putting distance between him and you; then continue walking.
Angola Collision Services
• Know your bus number. • Stay in a group while waiting for the bus. • Do not play in the street. Stay on the sidewalk or grass. • Wait for the bus to completely stop before approaching it. • Look both ways before crossing the street to get on the bus. • Stay seated while on the bus and keep hands and head inside the windows. • If someone offers you a ride, say NO. • A parent could be at the bus stop before and after school for extra safety.

• While driving, be more aware of the speed limits in your neighborhood and around schools. • Observe the sides of the roadway, watching for children walking and biking. • Give children right-of-way in crosswalks and school zones. • Avoid backing your vehicle at schools. • Children should exit to the right side of the vehicle. • Do not leave until your child is completely on school property.
BIKING TO SCHOOL • Bright colored clothing will make you more visible to drivers. • Always wear a bicycle helmet. • Backpacks should be tight on the upper back and not dragging on the rear tire. • Respect traffic lights and stop signs. • Ride on the right with the traffic.
