Safety for Kids

Education is Key in Traffic Safety for Kids

The FDOT District 2 Community Traffic Safety Program has developed, printed, and distributed activity books throughout 18 Northeast Florida counties. The goal is to help improve safety for kids and reduce injuries and fatalities in our community. This two-part flip book is great for elementary-age children and also older preteens.  

These important traffic safety messages and activities can be downloaded for free to share with the children in our communities. They cover a wide range of topics, including child passenger safety (CPS), occupant protection, pedestrian safety, bike and helmet safety, ATV off-road safety, and school bus dangers and safety.

Other key safety concerns for kids include swimming, sports, fire hazards, and general everyday safety tips. We’ve got mazes, puzzles, coloring, games, crosswords, word searches, scrambles, trivia, and safety checklists to keep the kids engaged while emphasizing valuable safety knowledge. We hope these life-saving reminders will help prevent injuries and fatalities as we work towards the goal of Target Zero.

You’re ready to wear a seat safety belt if you pass these three things:

  • The shoulder belt fits across your shoulder and chest without going over your neck.
  • The vehicle lap belt fits across your upper thighs and doesn’t cut into your stomach.
  • Your knees bend at the edge of the seat when your back and bottom are against the vehicle seat back.
