Kent County Council provides cyclist training for Year 6 pupils
in primary schools. The training is not designed to teach children
how to ride their bikes, but is designed to teach them the basics
of dealing with traffic.
What we are doing to reduce the number of motorcyclists killed
or seriously injured every year.
Keeping road users safe is one of the council's priorities. To
help us do this, we constantly monitor the safety record of our
roads. And we use data on casualties and crashes to create specific
projects and initiatives to help us.
Safe driving means being aware of the consequences of your
driving behaviour, and changing the way you drive so that there is
less risk to you, your passengers, and other road users.
Raising safety awareness among all road users is a very
important part of our work. We run training days and other schemes
to improve road safety awareness, especially among children.
Traffic calming is the general term we use for a method of
reducing speed or traffic.
