Enjoy more family time - Walking or riding to school is a great way to increase family time and provides an opportunity to teach children important road and community safety messages. In today’s time-poor society, it doubles as an opportunity to include some incidental physical activity into your day.
For families that live too far from the school to walk or ride the entire way, consider using Park and Stride.
Spending a few extra minutes to arrive actively at school can have long-lasting health benefits for you and your family.
✋Stop as close as possible to the head of the zone to allow other vehicles access to the zone behind you. Stopping at the back end of the zone when there is space ahead endangers children.

Stop look listen think - Teaching children how to cross the road safely is an important part of their development. It is also important to show children safe routes to school, with minimal road crossings. Utilising underpasses and walking on footpaths through parklands is a great way to ensure children avoid conflict with traffic.
If children need to cross a road, encourage them to use children’s or pedestrian crossings, traffic signals, refuge islands or places with good visibility. And remember to teach them to STOP, LOOK, LISTEN and THINK before they attempt to cross a road, even at dedicated crossings.
