1. Baby

In traffic terms, a baby refers to a young child (infant or toddler) who is present inside a vehicle or near roadways, and needs special care, protection, and attention to ensure their safety.

  • Always use an approved car seat.
  • Never leave a baby unattended near traffic.
  • Be cautious at home and near a driveway — most child accidents happen in driveways!
  • Never leave a baby alone in a vehicle — heatstroke can happen quickly.
  • Keep babies and toddlers away from curbs and roads.
  • Always hold their hand or keep them strapped in a stroller or carrier.
  • 'Baby on Board' – A sticker on a car to alert others (especially emergency services) that a baby is inside.
