Date & Time
Hosted by the Brookhaven Highway Department's division of traffic safety in conjunction with the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office STOPPED Program, this event encourages children to learn how to safely ride their bicycles in a mock-roadway, kid-sized setting. Safety Town features roads with turning lane arrows, a railroad crossing, two one-way tunnels to teach children the dangers of one-way streets, and timed traffic lights. Participants of all ages will be evaluated and given feedback on their own bicycle handling abilities, after proper bicycle safety skills are demonstrated.Participants are required to bring their own helmets and bicycles; both will be inspected for safety. The rain date for this event is Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
