Pedestrian Safety

 




Focus on Safety In and Around Cars

Safe Kids Buckle Up addresses the three ways children can be injured in non-traffic related incidents in and around cars.  While the majority of deaths to children involving motor vehicles are traffic related, approximately 10 percent of deaths are reported as non-traffic related.


Spot the Tot

Spot the Tot teaches parents and caregivers to take a quick walk around their vehicles before driving to make sure that there are no children and other objects around the vehicle.

The few second walk-around should be performed at home, on the street and in parking lots.  Many children are injured each year in driveways and parking lots.

Never Leave Your Child Alone (NLYCA)

NLYCA educates parents and caregivers about the danger of leaving children alone in cars.


 

Prevent Trunk Entrapment

Trunk Entrapment - Reminds parents, caregivers and children that vehicles are not play areas.  This includes trunks, which may seem harmless, but can result in accidental entrapment.

All cars made after 2001 are equipped with a trank handle release in case of accidental entrapment.

Parents and caregivers should first look in trunks if missing children cannot be found quickly.
