RAPS - Teaching road awareness and pedestrian safety to kids! While Pedestrian deaths make up 20% of all road accidents, about 95% are caused by the drivers. RAPS are commited to educating children about these potential dangers on the road. We provide an awareness to school age children of the danger of being a pedestrian and educate them how to remain safe. Prevention is our number one priority, and our hands on program enables children to be more aware of these dangers, while having fun at the same time. RAPS for Kids is committed to the promotion of pedestrian safety for school aged children by fostering awareness of the dangers of being a pedestrian and giving direction to becoming and remaining safe pedestrians. RAPS for kids is a mobile traffic course consisting of a pedestrian crossing with operational traffic signals, 'children crossing' flags and 'lolly pop' pedestrian crossing signs. The mobile unit also involves the use of mini cars to simulate 'real' traffic conditions for the children. Each child will have the opportunity to participate as a pedestrian, traffic controller and as a driver. By actively participating in the RAPS program and with the promotion of STOP-LOOK-LISTEN and THINK emphases, it is envisaged that these children will become safer pedestrians. RAPS for kids is available to all Primary Schools RAPS for kids has been developed in association with police at the Hawkesbury Local Area Command and in response to accidents involving young children as pedestrians in NSW. The program is designed to compliment established school Road Safety programs and promotes learning by practical experience. Reinforcement of safety principles is provided by worksheets. Practical experience involves role play in a simulated traffic situation.
