Introduction

In order for us to arrive at our destination safely, it's important for all of us - pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, truck and bus drivers - to know how to share the road safely. We're all part of the transportation system. Sadly, each year, thousands of people are injured in traffic crashes in our state. Many of these could have been prevented if everyone followed the traffic laws and was courteous and respectful of others.

The purpose of this book is to provide traffic safety tips to young persons and grown-ups. The activities in this booklet should help you to be more aware when walking and biking in traffic. There are tips for you as you get on and off a school bus, and tips for you to share with grown-ups who are driving cars and trucks. Throughout this booklet, you will find out that bicycling and walking are healthy choices - healthy for you, your family and for the environment.
