Keep your kids safe getting to and from school nationalschoolsafetyweek
“My daughter Annie loves riding the bus,” says Amber Fraser, a mom of two in Peterborough, Ont. Fraser says she doesn’t worry much about keeping her kids safe once they’re, but getting on and off pose some challenges. “In the mornings we have to cross a lane of traffic to board the bus, and the stop is on a busy road without stoplights. There have been times when cars have run through the bus’s flashing stop signs.”When getting on and off, watch for oncoming traffic.
“In the morning it’s also important to get to the stop at least five minutes early so you’re not rushing – that’s when accidents happen.” Says Les Cross, former president of the Ontario School Bus Association.More kids are being driven to school than ever before – about 62 percent – according to the 2016 ParticipAction Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth.
That’s a lot of vehicles swarming school zones at bell times. A study from York University and the Hospital for Sick Children found incidents of dangerous driving during theat 88 percent of the elementary schools they studied.
“Generally, kids under 10 can’t safely assess traffic, like the speed of oncoming cars,” says Beaton. “But kids all mature at different rates, and only you can decide when your child is ready.”
