Stop, Look and Listen
Make sure your children know how to act responsibly around the road and cross safely.
In our South Auckland community there are a significant number of cars, trucks and heavy vehicles on the roads.
It’s everyone’s responsibility to keep the roads and members of the public safe. Pukekohe Hiab Transport drivers are always on the lookout for pedestrians – particularly children who aren’t always aware of road hazards.
We have supported the Road Safe message being communicated at Pukekohe and Puni Primary Schools which promotes the following:
1. CARS, BUSES AND TRUCKS DON'T ALWAYS SEE YOU
Drivers should always be alert and aware of their surroundings, howeverpedestrians are not always seen. This is why it's important to stop, look and listen before crossing the road.
2. ALWAYS USE CROSSINGS
Pedestrian crossings are designed to make crossing the road safer for everyone involved. Drivers will always slow down and stop, and people are visible and easily seen. It's the safest place, and the only place that children especially, should be using to cross the road.
3. YOUR MOVEMENTS AFFECT OTHERS
Children need to know that what they do around the road affects other people. Whether they’re crossing the road or walking by it, they have the potential to put others at risk if they’re not crossing safely.
Promoting road safety in our communities
Children, pedestrians, and drivers alike all play an important part in keeping the roads hazard free. At Pukekohe Hiab Transport Ltd, we support Road Safety Awareness Education to reduce accidents on our roads and provide a safer community.
