Safety rules at home, school and around the neighborhood. The Northeast Florida Department of Transportation District Two Community Traffic Safety Program has developed special educational content highlighting traffic safety for children. It is never too early to educate kids on safety rules – at home, at school, and around the neighborhood.
Materials include the “Safety Town” activity booklet, coloring pages, social media graphics, and videos. Please share these free resources with children in your family, classroom, or neighborhood!

Great Safety Tips for Kids:
Stroll and Roll the Right Way!
- Walk & ride during the day when it is light out.
- Have a buddy with you.
- Don’t enter the road between parked cars.
- Cross the street at a corner or crosswalk.
- Look left, right, & left again before crossing a street.
- Sidewalks are the safest place to walk or ride.
- Wear a helmet every time you bike or skate.
- Ride your bike with the flow of traffic.
- Obey traffic signs & signals.
Children Must Wear a Bike Helmet… It’s the Law!
Florida state law requires all riders under 16 years of age to wear a helmet when on a bicycle. Additionally, any bicycle passenger aged 16 or younger, like small children riding in a bike seat or trailer, must also wear a helmet. This applies if they are on the sidewalk, road or other public roadway. The helmet must meet federal guidelines. All bike helmets should be properly fitted and securely fastened on the head with a strap.
Stranger Danger!
- Never go up to a car or to someone you don’t know.
- Have a safe place and people you can go to in an emergency.
Traffic Safety Storytime Videos for Children:
Educating children on traffic safety is vital, so we made traffic safety storytime videos. Two of the videos were read by kids, for kids! The books include “Watch Out On the Road,” “Learn About Road Safety,” “Look Left, Look Right, Look Left Again,” “Be Careful and Stay Safe,” and “Franklin Rides a Bike.”
