Its #ChildSafetyWeek
When walking with a child, show them how to do it safely by using #GreenCrossCode. Get young children into the habit of holding your hand or use walking reins.
Always stop, look and listen.
Check Rule 7 of the Highway Code NI

It’s #Bike Week 8 - 14 June
People who cycle are more vulnerable on the roads.
Give them space.
Drivers - When passing a cyclist, allow as much room as you would when overtaking a car, at least 1.5 - 2 metres.

Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has highlighted the importance of working collaboratively to ensure that transport delivers for people across Ireland.

Speaking at the 19th annual Transport Ireland Conference, held at Croke Park in Dublin, Minister Kimmins said: “I am delighted to attend this important conference which brings together those shaping the future of transport, connectivity, and infrastructure across our island. Transport must work for everyone. It must enable people to access jobs, education, healthcare, and essential services, regardless of where they live or their circumstances."

Drivers – Think safety around school buses
Drivers always take extra care when passing a parked or stationary bus.
Drive slowly around schools; the speed limit around many of our schools is a maximum 20 mph.

In better weather, expect to see more children out playing or on their bikes.
Children can be unpredictable, drivers pay extra attention at all times, especially at junctions & crossings, parks or leisure facilities. Slow down.

The Department for Infrastructure is starting a programme of work to upgrade and improve the network of on-street pay and display parking machines in Belfast, Lisburn and Newry which are now at end-of life.

As part of the programme of work, some machines will be upgraded, some machines will be removed entirely, and a small number will be upgraded but moved to better locations nearby to meet customer demand.

Drivers – Think Safety Around School Buses
Children are more at risk around a bus than travelling on it.
Drivers – slow down and take extra care when passing a parked or stationary bus as children may unexpectedly appear from the front or back of the bus.

By 1 July 2026, most vans and light goods vehicles between 2,501 kg and 3,500 kg used for commercial international journeys must be fitted with and use a Smart Tachograph 2.

This requirement applies to any vehicle carrying goods for commercial purposes within this maximum permissible mass range (including any trailer), unless the following two conditions are met – the journey is carried out on an own account basis (i.e. transporting your own goods) and driving is not the driver’s main activity, or another specific exemption applies.
