Road safety starts long before children are old enough to cross a road by themselves. Simply recognising the signs, signals and routines they see when they’re out and about can help make staying safe feel more familiar.
Our free Road Safety Signs Poster introduces children to common things they’ll see near roads, including traffic lights, stop and no-entry signs, pedestrian and school crossings, road works and warning signs. It also includes simple reminders such as holding hands and knowing when to walk or wait.
Keep it somewhere your child can see it, talk about the different signs together, then see how many they can spot next time you’re walking to nursery, school or the shops. It turns something they’ve seen on a poster into something they can recognise in the real world.
There’s no need to turn it into a lesson or expect them to remember everything. A few little conversations and moments of recognition are enough.
Because some of the most useful things children learn are the things that help them make sense of the world around them.
Here’s What Else We Make…
