#RoadDesign influences behavior better than #speed limits! Drivers slow down on narrow sts & speed up on wide rds. Adding 🌳, street parking, raised medians, or #Pedestrian islands can help slow drivers, making it safer for people to 🚶or 🚴‍♀️.

For too long, we’ve mentally accepted that crashes just happen. We’ve accepted that transportation comes with an inherent cost – a risk of being seriously hurt or killed in a crash. This week, we’ll set the record straight. Traffic crashes are preventable.

Looking for a low-cost countermeasure to improve #PedestrianSafety? Adjusting the signal timing at intersections can allow for better visibility and safety for people walking.

When shopping for your teen's first car, safety features should top the list, not horsepower. Modern safety tech (like automatic emergency braking and side-impact airbags) makes a huge difference in preventing or minimizing injuries in a crash.

Why do school buses have flashing lights? To warn drivers when they are about to stop.

Do you know when to stop for a #SchoolBus?

In the first years of driving, it's critical that #teen drivers limit passengers. More people = more distractions and a higher risk of a crash.

Does your #TeenDriver buckle up when you're not around? Almost 1/2 of teens killed on #NorthCarolina roads were unbuckled. Talk to your kids about wearing a #SeatBelt and other non-negotiables: https://ncvisionzero.org/commit-to-safety-teen-driver-safety-contract/

The heart of #PedestrianSafety is controlling speeds and giving people a seperated space to walk.

When you see a #SchoolBus on the road, look for flashing lights!

Morning commutes can be hectic. But the safety of #NorthCarolina kids is our #1 priority. Remember: never pass a stopped school bus.

#CumberlandCounty kids are #BackToSchool, which means it’s time for all of us to watch for the #SchoolBus.

If you see a stopped #SchoolBus, assume that there are children running to it from multiple directions. Trying to pass a stopped school bus is illegal and endangers #NorthCarolina kids.

Kids are #BackToSchool, so it’s time to refresh our knowledge of the #NorthCarolina #SchoolBus stop law. 

Every driver must stop for a school bus unless you’re on the other side of a median or the other side of four lane road with a turning lane.
