How organisations mark it
- Register with Brake and download the action pack for schools, workplaces or community groups.
- Run the lesson plans and quizzes with students, and hold Road Patrol Superhero Day for school crossing patrols.
- Light a local landmark yellow, or tie yellow ribbons for the people killed on your district's roads.
- Brief staff who drive for work on speed, distraction and fatigue, and review the organisation's driving policy.
- Thank a road safety hero publicly — a crossing patroller, a first responder, an engineer or a campaigner.
