School’s back for the year very soon and we all need to help keep tamariki safe on the roads.

If you’re driving near schools:

• Watch out for children walking, scooting, or cycling
• Be alert for children and be prepared to stop
• Be ready to stop at student-controlled school crossings

Parents, caregivers, or whānau members can join children on their walk, scoot, or cycle and teach them:

• Where to cross the road and how to cross safely.
• Any tricky driveways they should be careful of.
• To cross with their school patrol if they have one.

More children are out and about before and after school—let’s help keep them safe.
