Road Safety Week

 

Living Streets Aotearoa is excited to be part of Road Safety week. There are many distractions when using a road. Pedestrians, drivers and cyclists need to forget the ipod, cellphone and concentrate on the road. If we look out for each other we can ensure everyone gets to where they are going safely. I See You is better than I.C.U. Lets decrease the toll of trauma and death on our roads and make them Living Streets.

Trial of 20K signs on school buses aims to save children’s lives

In a bid to get drivers to slow down, 30 school buses in mid-Canterbury have been fitted with illuminated flashing 20km/h signs - the legal speed limit when passing a stationary school bus.

 

The active signs were launched in Ashburton this week as part of a national trial that aims to get motorists to slow down when passing a school bus that’s stopped to let children on or off.
