Walk & Skate
Use a crosswalk and the crossing guards: always cross at corners or at a marked crosswalk where drivers expect to see you. Cross with the crossing guard if your school has one.
Look before you cross: look left, right, and left again before crossing a street. Make eye contact with drivers before stepping off of the sidewalk.
Be visible: wear reflective or bright-colored clothing and walk with one or more walking buddies.
Walk with care: if there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic as far to the side of the road as possible, but do not weave in and out of parked cars.
Bike
Wear your helmet: it models good behavior. Helmets should fit snug, be level on your head and should always be buckled firmly under your chin.
Ride predictably: look for vehicles and signal to drivers which direction you plan to go before making turns. Ride in a straight line. Avoid the door zone, about 5 feet away from parked cars.
Ride with traffic: ride on the right, in the direction of traffic. Obey all signs and signals.
Lock your bike: when you get to school, lock your bike to a bike rack. Lock both your front wheel and the bike frame to the rack.
