October Wirral Road Safety Team Bulletin for Secondary Schools
Now the autumn is here, remember to take extra care on your journey to school.
During term time, the majority of road collisions involving young people happen in the afternoon and evenings, especially in the autumn and winter when it gets dark earlier in the day.
Walking or cycling to school is the healthiest option if you can. During lockdown, people started to get out and exercise more and it’s important we continue to do that during the autumn and winter months - even if it takes more of an effort. Exercise is a great mood-booster - something we all need in these difficult times! Active travel like walking or cycling improves alertness, lowers stress, and increases concentration. It also takes away the stress of using busy buses and trains, especially when capacity may be reduced due to social distancing.
