Hold My Hand - Little Blue Dinosaur

Little Blue Dinosaur Foundation and Shoalhaven City Council have joined forces again to raise awareness to help reduce child pedestrian injuries and fatalities across the City. 

Motorists will notice the 'Holiday Time; Slow Down, Kids Around' signage erected around the City at beaches, parks and other busy recreational locations, urging people to slow down and take extra care on our roads during the holiday period.  

Holiday Time; Slow Down, Kids Around is a highly visible and timely reminder about the importance of road safety, for both residents and visitors to be more aware of the increase in pedestrian activity.

With more kids around it’s important for all motorists to stay aware and vigilant on the road. Kids can react impulsively and forget about road safety.
