When walking where there’s no pavement, remember to follow the Highway Code.

🚶‍♂️Walk on the right-hand side of the road so you can see oncoming traffic
🚶‍♀️Walk in single file, especially on narrow roads or when visibility is poor
✔️Keep close to the side of the road at all times

If you sell your vehicle privately, you can tell us online without sending us your log book.

3️⃣ Destroy the rest of the log book

Job done! 👉 https://t.co/U63v4z3Wt8

The area outside schools is high risk for children walking and cycling. Parked cars and lots of traffic can make it difficult for both pedestrians and drivers to spot the dangers.

Drivers, slow down and pay particular attention when driving in built-up and busy areas.

Most incidents involving cyclists and drivers happen in everyday situations - junctions, roundabouts, turning. Often it’s small changes in awareness that make the biggest difference. @GlosLiveOnline @bbcpointswest @itvwestcountry @Glos_OPCC @GlosRoads @GlosFIRE @GlosSkillZone
