We Are All on Safety Patrol

Project Description

"We Are All on Safety Patrol" was created in collaboration with the New York City Department of Transportation, Roy H Mann Middle School, and Millennium Development Corporation in Bergen Beach, Brooklyn. The design and research phase of the project was inspired by the NYC DOT’s Safety Education Program. The imagery in the mural focuses on the distractions that endanger both drivers and pedestrians. In creating this artwork, the young people and artists remind us that safety is everyone's responsibility and that we are all on safety patrol.

Fun Facts

Think about areas in your neighborhood that may be in need of a traffic sign. Do people drive too fast near your school? Do people roll through stop signs by your house? Design a traffic safety sign that reflects traffic issues in your neighborhood.

According to Transportation Alternatives, New York has the highest number of pedestrian and cyclist deaths and injuries in the United States. Pedestrian and cyclist deaths make up a majority of traffic deaths.

You should always wear a seatbelt when you are in the car and always wear a helmet when you are on a bike. It is also very important to “Stop, Look, and Listen,” when you are crossing the street, because others might not see you.
