Here are a few road safety rules for kids that you could teach your children:
1.Cross the road at the Zebra Crossing
Zebra crossings are placed in places which ensures maximum safety of the pedestrians. Teach your children to cross the road only at Zebra crossings. While doing so, they should focus on the road, look both ways to check that there are no oncoming vehicles.
2. Do not stick your hand or head out of a moving vehicle for safety
It’s dangerous to stick your hand or head out of a moving vehicle. Tell your child never to do this in a car or their school bus either.
3. Strap on seatbelts in cars for safety
Seatbelts in cars protect us from injuring ourselves in case there’s an accident or if the driver hits the brakes all of a sudden. Before you start driving, make sure your kids are buckled up. If they start the habit of wearing their seatbelts at a young age, they will grow into responsible drivers in the future.
4. Get off on the safer side of the car
When you stop your car, make sure you park by the footpath so that your child can get off the car on the side of the footpath. Since kids are tiny, they may not be noticed easily by other drivers and hence poses a risk for the kids. So ask your children to always get down on the side of the footpath.
5. Do not cross near blind spots
Crossing a road from in between vehicles or any other large object can put kids at risk. Tell your kids that they should always cross from a clear area for safety.
6. Know the traffic signs
Teach your kids traffic signs one at a time. They should learn the basics of learning how to read traffic signals such as the red, orange and green lights. You can then teach them basic signs such as the stop sign, pedestrian walking sign, school zone sign, and so on.
