Play Safe This Winter

• Don't build snow forts or tunnels along the roadway, in parking lots and at the end of a driveway. Snow forts can collapse and trap or injure a child, be hit by an out of control car, or be destroyed by a snowplow clearing snow or cleaning up an area.
• Don't play on roadside snow banks. The driver of a snowplow or other vehicle may not see a child. If you can't see the snowplow driver, they can't see you. Stay far away from plows when they are working.
• Stay away from snowplows and snow blowers.
• Choose play areas away from roads, fences, water, and the end of driveways.
• Wear bright colors outdoors. Bright colors help drivers see children better.
• Take extra caution when crossing roads because it might be hard for drivers to see children playing if they have snowy or frosty windows.
