Active Travel Safety Videos
Videos are a great way to educate and encourage students to choose active and sustainable modes of travel regularly. Video topics cover pedestrian, road, and cycling safety. Click below.
Pedestrian Crossovers (PXO)
A pedestrian crossover (PXO) is a designated crossing area that allows pedestrians to safely cross the road where vehicles must yield to the pedestrian. PXOs are identified by specific pavement markings and crossing signs.
Pedestrians have the right of way at PXOs; drivers and cyclists must stop behind the yield line (triangles that look like “sharks’ teeth”) and wait until the pedestrian completely finishes crossing the road before proceeding. All road users must obey pedestrian crossover rules; laws are in effect around- the- clock.
It is important that drivers, cyclists and pedestrians each know their role when approaching a PXO.
To learn more about the responsibilities of drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, as well as fine and penalties, visit the City of London website or Ontario Ministry of Transportation.
Roundabout Safety
A roundabout is a one-way circular intersection where traffic moves counter clockwise around a centre island. Roundabouts can help to:
- Reduce traffic congestion
- Improve traffic flow
- Increase safety
- Reduce idling and air pollution
- Improve neighbourhood appearance
It is important that pedestrians and drivers know their responsibilities at roundabout. These resources were created in collaboration with the London-Middlesex Road Safety Committee to help students, parents, and community members gain the skills and knowledge they need to safely bike, walk, roll, or drive at a roundabout.
Safety Tips for Parents

Safety Tips for Students
Use these resources to teach students how to safely bike, walk, or roll to school or school bus stop.
School Safety Patrol
The School Safety Patrol program is a partnership between CAA, the police, school boards, teachers, parents and students. The program teaches students about road safety. It encourages students from ages 11 – 14 to volunteer helping other students cross the road safely or how to ride the school bus in an orderly fashion.
