Playing it Safe: Road Safety app for iPhone and iPad

Playing it Safe: Road Safety is a fun way of learning about staying safe on the roads.

Choose your character and then look after them as they explore the world.

Help them choose the right clothes and accessories to stay safe and choose the right place and time to get them across the road in one piece.

You can also test your knowledge in a beat the clock quiz and try the addictive traffic lights game to help you learn the light sequence.

There are tips and advice for parents to make sure the kids make the connection to real life and the real-life dangers.

Funded by SWWITCH (South West Wales Integrated Transport Consortium), the app offers the choice of English or Welsh as the language.
