www.WalkBikeToSchool.org is a great place to learn about bike safety and fun ways to teach kids safe pedestrian skills
There is way too much info for me to summarize so here are the links to get you started:

Pedestrian Safety: http://www.walkbiketoschool.org/keep-going/pedestrian-safety
Every year, about 25,000 child pedestrians are injured by motor vehicles. Reducing the risk of injury includes teaching children pedestrian and bicycle skills. It also means reminding drivers to watch for others using the road. Hazardous conditions along routes to school need to be identified and fixed. These are the things Safe Routes to School tries to work on in Moscow, Idaho.
If you have concerns and/or would like to volunteer with our exciting and important program in Moscow, please contact Brooke Lowry (Moscow SR2S Coordinator) blowry@uidaho.edu
