Due to the necessities of the road network, generally road works occur whilst roads are still open for use by all classes of road users. Hence it is important that the pedestrian, vehicular and cycling traffic is designed and managed to reduce the safety risks of users.
Research has shown that the risk of a serious traffic collision at or in a road works site is three to five times more than on other parts of the road network (CAREC, 2018).
The implementation and maintenance of the road safety measures at work sites is important but it is equally important that all road users understand and appreciate the safety risks and the operational aspects of such work sites.
We have identified the need for specific Road Safety Awareness Education and Training with FOCUS ON WORK SITES. This aspect is commonly omitted from general Road Safety Education Programmes. Road users, namely passengers, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians across different age groups are addressed.

Staying safe on the road.

Our aim as a school is to bring children aware of dangers on the road. To stay safe as a pedestrian and also as passengers in a car with an adults. We planned fun and informative activities for children of ages 3-11 years.


Wearing a helmet is a must. Make it a family rule, if there is no helmet then there is no bike (scooter or skateboard).

Participation in TV programme "Skjetti" - Road safety

We were invited by the television programme, Skjetti to talk about road safety. This programme is about issues of public concern in Malta and some students and I as teacher in charge, talked about their participation for the European Road Safety Charter Challenge this scholastic year. We talked about what can be done to prevent accidents on the road. The programme Skjetti is very popular in Malta and many people watch it so our participation helped to increase awareness about the topic at hand.
