Extractions: Access Keys Skip To Content Region / Language Children are heading back to school. The early morning roads are once again crowded with pedestrians, bikes, and cars in the rush to work and school. Drivers must always be watchful, and not only of other vehicles. In 1997, more than one third of the pedestrians injured by motor vehicles - approximately 77,000 - were children under the age of 15. Children frequently dart unexpectedly into traffic, often from between parked cars. If you're driving in and around school zones and other areas where children play, expect the unexpected. Bicycling in traffic or on busy roads can be dangerous. Just as if they were driving a car, children on bicycles must observe the rules of the road - yet they may not be familiar with them. The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggests the following safe bicycling practices for riding in the U.S.: Always wear a helmet. Other safety gear, such as elbow pads, is recommended, especially for beginners.

So it's not like he'll be alone."

Extractions: More TCC Weekly Tips Pedestrian-vehicle injuries are a leading cause of death for children ages 5 to 14. Kids are back from summer camp, school is in session again, and school buses are out plying the streets. That means drivers need to step up safety around school zones, crosswalks, bus stops, and wherever children may be playing outside. Here are some back-to-school tips: Be familiar with school zones. Get in the habit of noticing where school zones and crosswalks are on routes that you normally take. Accidents, including pedestrian accidents, are far more likely to occur locally on routes that drivers are familiar-and thus overly comfortable with. Stop for school bus lights. Always stop for school buses with flashing red lights. Drivers approaching the bus must come to a full stop for the duration that the red lights are on. Some school buses have flashing yellow lights also, which means that drivers may proceed with extreme caution. Bus drivers often engage the flashing yellow lights before the flashing red lights, signaling that they are about to stop. Obey crossing guards.

Extractions: WASHINGTON, D.C. - As millions of children head back to school, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is giving parents, teachers, and care-givers tips on making back to school time a safe time. CPSC's "Back to School Safety Checklist" offers tips on making schools, child care facilities and playgrounds safer. "Take a few minutes to check your child's school, day center and playground for hidden hazards we don't always think about during this busy time of year," said CPSC Chairman Ann Brown. "Use our free checklist to make sure your children head back to school safely." Playgrounds - Check the surfaces around playground equipment. There should be a 12-inch depth of wood chips, mulch, sand or pea gravel, or there should be mats made of safety-tested rubber or fiber material to prevent head injury when a child falls. Each year, more than 200,000 children are treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for playground-associated injuries. Most of these injuries occur when a child falls from the equipment.
