One of the key focuses of our Active Travel team is that of Pedestrian Training, under the tenets of Stop, Look, Listen, Think. Pedestrian training is an essential part of young children’s lives: It teaches them how to respect the road and cross it safely. It teaches them how to properly monitor the road to check for a safe crossing, how to maintain their visibility so that drivers can see them and how to properly cross the road.
Our Active Travel team deliver pedestrian training sessions across the Tees Valley, and have been doing so for many years alongside Bikeability. As such, they are highly qualified leaders in delivering pedestrian training and help to teach children how to safely cross the road .
