HEADS UP! A Distracted Walking and Driving Poster Contest In September 2023, the Rye YMCA invited the students in three Rye High School Digital Media classes to create posters that illustrate the dangers of distracted walking and driving. The posters shown here provoked thoughtful discussion among the students. We hope that they also make you think about keeping our roads safe for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.
