It's time to refresh your emergency car kit! ⚠️🚗 Swap out your layers, replenish your first aid kit and stock up on fresh batteries and water. Pro-Tip: Don’t leave plastic water bottles in a scorching trunk for months — swap them out regularly for fresh ones, or grab a few shelf-stable water pouches instead. ⬇️

Practice, school runs, weekend games — the back seat gets busy this time of year! ⚽🎒 Before you put the car in drive, make sure everyone is buckled up. A properly fitted seat belt is your child's best defense on EVERY trip, no matter how short.

The number of casualties on those public spaces between buildings that we call roads is a choice. A choice for politicians who create an environment that works for all its citizens or prioritises those in motors. It's why 20mph or 30km/h should be the limit where people are.

A red light isn't an invitation to squeeze through the intersection. When the signal turns red, stop. Saving a few seconds isn't worth putting drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists in danger.

En conduite accompagnée, chacun a son rôle… et parfois ses objectifs 😄 Au-delà de l’apprentissage, ce sont aussi des kilomètres partagés avec ceux qui comptent. 🚘 Conduite accompagnée : 15 ans, c’est le bon moment ! Pour en savoir plus 👉 urlr.me/kBP2S2

Siren in the distance? Lights in your rearview mirror? Knowing how to safely yield helps emergency responders get where they need to go. If an emergency vehicle is approaching, stay alert, safely move out of its path and follow your state's laws. 🚨 When approaching a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights, move into a non-adjacent lane or slow down if you can't safely change lanes. Move Over laws are in all 50 states!

Drivers — stay alert and watch for students. Parents — teach kids to follow basic safety rules while walking or riding to school.

Before hopping on an e-bike, know how it works. Understand the controls, obey traffic laws and always wear a helmet.

On a 100-degree day, the inside of a parked car can reach deadly temperatures in minutes. 🌡️🚨 It's critical to prevent a child hot car tragedy with these simple rules: 🟡 Lock up — even at home. 🟡 Keep key fobs and car keys out of reach. 🟡 Teach kids that cars are not play areas. If you see a child alone in a vehicle, call 911 immediately.

Roads in more remote rural areas can be especially dangerous due to lack of streetlights and other safety features. There may be unique hazards such as wildlife, rockslides, or flash flooding. Slow down and drive alert at all times! #SlowDownTN

Upgrading small town intersections with high-visibility crosswalk markings and lighting makes pedestrians more visible to drivers at night, achieving a 40% reduction in pedestrian injury crashes. Crosswalk visibility enhancements are highlighted in FHWA’s Every Day Counts 7 Nighttime Visibility for Safety initiative: highways.dot.gov/sites/fhwa.… #RRSAW2026

When you're passing a bicyclist on the road, 3 feet is the minimum buffer distance required by law in most states. If you can't immediately give a cyclist that much space, here's your roadmap. ⤵️ *Check your state's specific laws.

Less than one quarter of the U.S. population lives in rural areas, yet rural roads are disproportionately deadly. 🛣️❌ This National Rural Road Safety Awareness Week – and every week – remind yourself: 🚜 Expect slow-moving farm machinery 📉 Slow down before sharp curves 🪨 Watch for loose gravel and soft shoulders
