Kids Cross Safely

The UK has one of the highest child pedestrian injury and death rates in Western Europe and the developed world. This can no longer continue or be allowed. Most child pedestrian death or injury occurs in the hours of 8a.m to 9a.m and 3p.m and 6p.m on a weekday,which happens to be when children travel to and from school.

Kids Cross Safely is a campaign about the safety of children going to and from school in the UK. We want to ensure that schools have safe pedestrian crossings, the roads surrounding the schools have reduced speeds imposed and that there are clear safely marked routes to school.

Key Aims of Kids Cross Safely
