Pedestrian and Traffic Safety

Drive Trauma Prevention with Traffic Safety

We are a society in motion, and we rely on transportation – bikes, cars, buses and trains – to get us where we need to go. If your family is like most, you hit the road almost every day for school, work, church, ball practice or maybe a few groceries.

Some traffic along the way may be unavoidable, but critical injuries aren’t. Teaching your kids to play it safe around motor vehicles is the best form of injury prevention.

Keeping Kids Safe around Cars

As an extension of the University Hospital trauma team, the pediatric safety experts in our Injury Prevention department are committed to all forms of traffic safety. Our health educators teach kids, teens and parents how to anticipate and avoid potentially dangerous situations in and around motor vehicles. We focus on practices that make sidewalks, bus stops and driveways safer for your whole family.
