What is this experiment about?
Drop-off and pick-up times are busy and full of kids on foot. Drag each safety feature to where it protects everyone best.
Questions kids ask
- Why do school zones need extra safety features?
- Lots of children crossing at the same time, often distracted, means drivers need extra warning and help.
- What does a crossing guard actually do?
- A crossing guard steps into the road to stop traffic and waves students across only when it's fully safe.
- Why is the school-zone sign shaped like that?
- Its bright triangle shape and children silhouette are designed to catch a driver's eye from a distance.
