Show PARENTS PRIMARILY ' RESPONSIBLE ' ' FOR CHILD SAFETY With the growing number of traffic deaths and injuries involving invol-ving children, especially five years and under, the responsibility of parents to teach children good safety conduct is also growing. The Utah Motor Club recommends that you teach your children the following safety rules: 1 Teach your youngsters to obey all traffic officers, school patrols, traffic signs and signals and pavement markings. . 2 Teach children in your home to use roller skates, tricycles, wagons and scooted on the sidewalks side-walks only never in the street or near congested traffic. 3 Go with smaller children to school. Help them to select and always to use the safest route between be-tween school and home. 4 Urge your children to practice prac-tice the rules they learn at school about crossing streets and playing in unsafe places. 5 Set a good example, then see that your children follow it when- walking in rural areas or where there are no sidewalks. Walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic. Cross over only when you reach your destination, and only after being certain that there are no cars approaching. Adults take such traffic safety rules for granted. Children do not. Acquaint your children with these rules. See that they obey them. Your insistance may save their i life. j |
