Early years road safety education

A child can learn a lot about road safety through play.  It may be something as simple as identifying traffic or learning what a road is but these basic ideas are so important and necessary before a child can learn to cross the road safely.

There is a very helpful website with resources for all Key Stages from the Department for Transport Explore education resources – THINK!.

For more information or advice please contact road.safety@cambridgeshire.gov.uk putting Pre-School enquiry in the subject area.

The main messages to get across to pre-school children are:

  • Always go out with a grown up and always hold hands.
  • Stop look and listen for traffic.
  • Roads are for traffic, pavements are for people.
