Online Pedestrian Safety Resources for Teaching Ages 15-18
Given their maturity and experience as pedestrians, discussing pedestrian safety with high school students may be most relatable when integrated into driver education, as part of a broader discussion of transportation modes, or as part of civic action or community planning class. The resources listed here fit into those subjects.
