The Street Feet Resource is designed for use with children in Key Stage 1, age 3 to 7 years.
It contains two road layouts; one zebra crossing and one pelican crossing and aims to develop the skills and awareness required for young children to cope with today's traffic. It gives children the opportunity to practice crossing the road in a safe environment by using role-play. By playing the part of different road users children acquire awareness of road use patterns and realise their responsibilities as a road user.

StreetFeet Plus incorporates ideas from Richmond's Safety
Education Team. Principle Safety Education Officer Chris King is delighted
with the end result. He writes;
"We were very grateful to Transport for London for funding this initiative
through our Borough Spending Plan bid, and to Fresco Interactives, who
responded so positively to our requirements for a road layout that we
could use in schools, incorporating so many safety related features. Children
love role play and respond well to planning safest routes, using safer
crossing places and taking on various roles in a variety of scenarios.
When we used the pilot pack in schools, the feedback was that teachers
wanted their own set so that they could use it 'as and when' they wanted.
This would also enable the school to do follow-up work on a regular and
frequent basis, so we made a successful bid to TfL."
