RACQ 'Streets Ahead'

Streets Ahead, is an interactive and age appropriate road safety presentation provided to primary school students and their teachers free of charge. Streets Ahead aims to educate students about pedestrian, passenger and bicycle safety resulting in increased general road safety awareness.

Linked to current Education syllabus, each of the four Streets Ahead presentations combine interactive displays and fun props to offer children important road safety information relevant to their respective age group:

Crossing Capers Level 1 (Prep and Year 1): Students learn how to identify and use a variety of pedestrian crossings safely

Safety Smart Level 2 (Year 2 and 3): Students cover all aspects of road safety in this fast-paced interactive presentation including how to cross roads safely, be a safe passenger and identify what to wear when riding a bike.

Bike Wise Level 3 (Year 4 and 5): Students will investigate and discover what elements are needed to make a safe cyclist…clothing, equipment, behaviour, road rules? Students will also experiment to identify the effects of wearing and not wearing a seatbelt, as well as learn the causes and dangers of distraction.

Play It Safe Level 4 (Year 6 and 7): Students will review their knowledge of pedestrian, passenger and cyclist safety through three rounds of interactive questions and experiments. Students will strengthen their knowledge of road safety, identify possible bad habits and ways to avoid them, and revise essential road safety concepts.

Streets Ahead aims to educate students about pedestrian, passenger and bicycle safety resulting in increased general road safety awareness and last year was presented to over twenty-one thousand school children throughout Queensland.
