HARROW and the RAC are joining forces in a bid to cut child road deaths.

An online education game called The Zebra Crossing Game, designed by the Harrow-based education and safety consultants, DBDA, is aimed at four to 11 year olds, and reinforces key messages about staying safe on the road.

The Zebra Crossing Game was commissioned as part of the global road safety campaign, Make Roads Safe, a worldwide response to the UN identifying road accidents as being the third biggest killer by the year 2010 More than 2,000 child pedestrians were killed or seriously injured on the roads last year alone.
