Road safety school holiday program

SAPOL is offering its popular free road safety program for primary school aged children during the January school holidays at the new Road Safety Centre, West Beach.

The school holiday program was held for the first time in 2018 at the Road Safety Centre and proved very popular with spots filling quickly.

While South Australian children have the opportunity to visit the centre as part of a school excursion, not all schools participate in this program. The free holiday program provides an additional opportunity for children to gain vital road safety education.

Participants in the two-hour program will have a classroom session, followed by a practical session of bicycle riding on the mock roadway to put into practice their new knowledge.

All equipment is supplied and the Road Safety Centre has a range of bicycles to cater for all riders.
