Safety Considerations for Children, Elderly & Persons with Disabilities
Special attention and precautions are essential for vulnerable road users. Ensuring supervision, visibility, and sufficient time for crossing significantly enhances safety for children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.

Supervise children closely near roads. Teach them basic road safety rules from a young age. Ensure they use appropriate crossings and remain highly visible. Drivers should exercise extreme caution in school zones.

Elderly pedestrians may require more time to cross roads. They should use designated crossings and ensure visibility. Drivers need to be patient and aware of potential hearing or vision impairments.
Persons with Disabilities
Use accessible pedestrian crossings and infrastructure where available. Employ visibility aids suitable to your needs. Drivers should be extra vigilant and provide ample space and time for safe crossing.
