Your driveway. Driveway accidents are frequent and often fatal.
Realize the danger of your own and all other driveways. There may be
obscured vision caused by trees, bushes or cars. Your driveway is not a
launching pad for fast roll-outs! Observe the following driveway safety
tips:
Look left, right and left again before exiting onto sidewalks or into
playground areas.
Stop signs. Running a stop sign is a sure way to get hit by a car and
killed. Remember, always stop at every stop sign or stop light. Always
stop and walk across only when it is clear. Do not assume that drivers
of motor vehicles can see you. In fact, assume that every driver cannot
see you and that they are not paying attention. Observe the following
safety tips:
Stop at all stop signs and lights, regardless of traffic conditions.
Look in every direction of traffic before proceeding to walk across.
Watch especially for oncoming traffic making left turns.
Watch for cars behind you or next to you making right turns.
Wait for traffic to clear before proceeding.
Turning without warning. Children are often struck by cars because
they made unexpected turns into traffic, or they inadvertently veered
into traffic when looking over their shoulder. Observe the following
safety tips for left turns:
Do not cut across the street, cross only at intersections.
Practice looking over your shoulder to the rear without accidentally
turning (do this only in an open space free from traffic and
obstructions).
Riding at night and in low visibility. Do not ride at night or in low
visibility.
