Road Safety Initiatives for Newcomers in Ontario
The Kidy Foundation provides comprehensive programs addressing road safety challenges for newcomers in Ontario‘s Greater Toronto Area.
Language Barriers
To ensure broad accessibility, multilingual resources should include visual aids and culturally relevant examples. This could involve:
- Road safety materials in various formats (print, digital, audio).
- Live interpreters or virtual support for traffic rules and regulations.
Driving Weather Conditions
Winter driving in Ontario can be challenging for newcomers. Additional support could include:
- Hands-on demonstrations for clearing snow and ice from vehicles.
- Tips for vehicle winter preparation (e.g., tire maintenance, emergency kits).
Employment and Mobility
Many newcomers rely on public transit. Safety guides could include:
- Tips for staying safe while walking to and from transit stations.
- Guidelines for navigating transit during peak hours or bad weather.
Road Safety Initiatives in Ethiopia

Pedestrian Safety
Road safety is a significant challenge in Ethiopia, especially for pedestrians. Key initiatives include:
- Workshops on using pedestrian crossings and staying visible at night.
- Community campaigns for creating safer intersections and streets.
Driver Training Programs
Educating drivers on safe practices is critical. Programs can focus on:
- Enforcing speed limits in high-risk zones.
