A blind spot is the area of the road that can’t be seen by looking through your windscreen or by using your mirrors. Blind spots can be large enough in size to easily block another car, motorbike, cyclist or pedestrian from your view.

Country roads often have sharp bends and poor visibility. You should reduce your speed where country roads enter villages. As a driver, it is YOUR responsibility to drive at a speed appropriate for the conditions>>>

With the significant increase in Pedestrian Road Fatalities last year we are making every effort to speak to every Year 8 pupil in Northern Ireland. If Roads Policing Education has not visited your school please get in touch.

#Education

Respect the safety of road workers by slowing down at road works and abiding by all temporary traffic signs and lights. It’s the law.

NI Road Policing and Safety

Great work! Refresh your knowledge of the Green Cross Code and teach it to your children.
See Highway Code Northern Ireland Rule 7 a-e for ‘The Green Cross Code’ >>> nidirect.gov.uk/articles/rules…

Where you see temporary traffic lights/traffic signs there will often be people working on the road.

With an increasing number of road works happening, we're focusing on #RoadWorkerSafety & urging drivers to obey these legally enforceable signs/signals.
Remember - it's the law!

Country roads often have sharp bends & poor visibility.
Anticipate people walking or cycling, horse riders, motorcyclists and slow-moving farm vehicles around every corner.
So, slow down, take your time and brake before a corner, not on it.

Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow-moving vehicle.
Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass.
