ROAD users have been reminded to look out for each other in a new safety campaign.

Burnley Council have launched a campaign to urge drivers, cyclists and pedestrians to look out for each other as the school summer holiday draws to an end.

Signs have been put across the borough encouraging all road users to be more considerate towards each other with the aim of helping to make roads safer in Burnley and Padiham.

Leaflets promoting the campaign have gone out to schools, nurseries and other establishments across the borough.

Parents and carers are also being asked to be aware of the risks children face on the road.

The campaign is run by the Lancashire Road Safety Partnership and a key aim is to reduce the number of children killed or seriously injured on the road.

A spokesman for the road safety partnership said: “Regrettably, a number of children are involved in accidents on Lancashire’s roads each year.

“I’d like to encourage everyone to be extra careful on the roads and not take risks, because children copy adults’ behaviour and if they see others taking risks they will probably take risks too.

“We all have a part to play in helping to keep children safe on the roads and it’s essential to set a good example.”
