Traffic Safety Marketing & Programs

"I wish I hadn't worn a #SeatBelt during that crash" - said no one, ever. #NoRegrets #BuckleUp

Why do we #LoveTheBus? Because safe, reliable transportation to school is foundational to student success and learning. #SchoolBus @ncpublicschools

This month, we celebrate the #SchoolBus and all the drivers that keep our kids safe on the way to school! Thank you! #LoveTheBus @ncpublicschools

What can we learn from you? The NC Traffic Safety Conference is the largest gathering of #TrafficSafety professionals in the state. Submit your presentation proposal by Jan. 12 at: go.ncsu.edu/2026nctsc @NC_GHSP @NCDOT

One word for today: ❄️Brrrr🥶 Keep your little ones cozy and warm by covering them with a coat or blanket over their #CarSeat harness. #Parenting #CarSeatSafety

Speed is a critical variable - whether a crash results in a fender bender or a family losing a child. It is the difference between a close call and a life-shattering event. #SafeSpeedsSaveLives #WDoR2025 @BikeDurham @CityofDurhamNC @ncsafestreets @LeoForDurham @mikefor35

Ever noticed how some areas just feel safer for walking? The design of our streets plays a huge role in how fast drivers travel and how safely we can walk. #VisionZero #SafeStreetsWeek #WDoR #pedestrian

#RoadDesign influences behavior better than #speed limits! Drivers slow down on narrow sts & speed up on wide rds. Adding 🌳, street parking, raised medians, or #Pedestrian islands can help slow drivers, making it safer for people to 🚶or 🚴‍♀️. #SafeStreetsWeek #TrafficCalming

It's #SafeStreetsWeek. How much do you know about #RoadSafety? Test your knowledge with our daily #trivia quiz. Today's topic: Traffic crashes are preventable. #WDoR #VisionZero

For too long, we’ve mentally accepted that crashes just happen. We’ve accepted that transportation comes with an inherent cost – a risk of being seriously hurt or killed in a crash. This week, we’ll set the record straight. Traffic crashes are preventable. #SafeStreetsWeek

We hope you all have a safe and happy #Halloween! #NC

Looking for a low-cost countermeasure to improve #PedestrianSafety? Adjusting the signal timing at intersections can allow for better visibility and safety for people walking. #pedestrian #PedestrianSafetyMonth #LPI

When shopping for your teen's first car, safety features should top the list, not horsepower. Modern safety tech (like automatic emergency braking and side-impact airbags) makes a huge difference in preventing or minimizing injuries in a crash. #TeenDriverSafetyWeek #TeenDriver

Save the date! The NC #WorldDayOfRemembrance for Road Traffic Victims will be held in #Durham Central Park on 11/16. More info: ncvisionzero.org/2025-nc-world-… @cityofdurhamnc @bikedurham @durhamcounty

Why do school buses have flashing lights? To warn drivers when they are about to stop. #SchoolBusSafetyWeek #SchoolBus

Do you know when to stop for a #SchoolBus? #SchoolBusSafetyWeek #NorthCarolina

In the first years of driving, it's critical that #teen drivers limit passengers. More people = more distractions and a higher risk of a crash. #TeenDriverSafetyWeek #DriversEd

Does your #TeenDriver buckle up when you're not around? Almost 1/2 of the teens killed on #NC roads were unbuckled at the time of the crash. Talk to your kids about wearing a #SeatBelt & other non-negotiables: ncvisionzero.org/commit-to-safe… #TeenDriverSafetyWeek
