While most accidents occur away from school, such as when a child runs into traffic after a pet or ball, school openings present a special risk. "'September's school openings raise the level of exposure for children," said Pat Curran of CAA Toronto. "They will be on the street when many motorists drive to work. Children, fresh from carefree days of summer play, are not yet adjusted to the school routine, and may not be prepared for their close contact with traf- fic. It's every motorist's job to keep them safe." Curran urges parents to teach children about traffic safety. They should make time to walk with children along the route they will take to school and point out potential hazards. Parents should remember small children perceive the world differently from grownups. locate the source of a sound. Children also may not have the ability to judge speed and direc- tion and they may believe the safest way to cross a street is to simply run across. Motorists can help reduce the risk to children going to and from school and school bus stops by: -- slowing down around schools and residential areas -- obeying all traffic signs and signals -- obeying the directions of police officers and adult crossing guards -- being alert for children going to and from schools or bus stops Because they are shorter, they January 1, 1991.
