This is a great example of young people taking a positive role in reducing road death and injury on our roads “24% of our road deaths involve pedestrians and a simple action such as learning and following the Safe Cross Code can and will save lives.

Please take the time to teach your children the Safe Cross Code and to practice it with your children on the road.
