SAFETY CITY RULES

• All riders must ride on the street. Leave sidewalks clear for pedestrians.
• All riders must have a helmet to ride.
• Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
• No pets
• No motorized scooters/bikes, rollerskates, rollerblades, hoverboards, one wheels, or skateboards

The objective of Safety City is to provide an early educational program for elementary school children (kindergarten-fifth grades). The program will teach children about vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle and fire safety. The skills taught at Safety City will empower youngsters with the ability to avoid needless accidents and instill good safety habits at an early age.

The concept of Safety City is one of providing "hands-on" safety education within a child-size setting complete with buildings, paved streets and sidewalks, working traffic signals and traffic signs. Students receive classroom instruction in basic pedestrian, vehicular, bicycle and fire safety. Then, students are able to practice and demonstrate their safety skills in participatory activities on the Safety City site. Participatory instruction can include pedestrian exercises, traffic activities through driving child-size vehicles and bicycle and fire skills.


GOALS OF SAFETY CITY

• To provide a creative and safe environment where elementary students will have the opportunity to increase their knowledge and skills in pedestrian, vehicle and bicycle safety.
• To reduce injuries and deaths resulting from motor vehicle and pedestrian-related crashes
• To reduce injuries and deaths resulting from fire
• To provide additional personal safety education programs as they develop
