Schools have started again
Unfortunately, in the month of September, when everyone goes back to school, more school students are involved in accidents (Source: Viastat). To prevent this, we draw extra attention to traffic safety during Safe School Environment Month (August 26 through September 25).
Giving attention to safe traffic behavior
After a long summer vacation, it is good to pay extra attention to safe traffic behavior. Small children go out to school together with parents for the first time, other students go out alone for the first time. And other road users are no longer used to the busy school rush hour.
Participation of schools and municipalities
Primary, secondary and intermediate vocational schools also engage in extra work on traffic safety behavior during this theme month. Municipalities are using communications to announce that students are going back to school and that extra attention is required from all road users. The Municipality of Wassenaar is also doing this, including banners, digital signs and poster boards and social media posts with the text: "Our schools have started again" / "We are going back to school".
All children and youth safe on the road
To make sure, that all school students can have a traffic safe start of the school year, we ask extra attention for traffic safety during the Month of Safe School Environment. Will you also participate? Together we make a point of zero, because every victim is one too many. Also check out the Safe School Environment Month website.
