Join us at the Cone Zone Go Kart ride, where kids aged 10 to 16 can learn about roadside safety while driving a Go Kart around a large circuit complete with real world work zone hazards. Participants at the ride will be instructed by certified traffic control personnel on how to navigate a “cone zone.”
Once again this year, there will be other activities for road users of all ages:
Electric Cars and Scooters: Children ages 5 – 10 can ride electric karts on a special track.
Family Photo and Social Media Contest: Participants in the “selfie station” will have a chance to win a a special prize.
Distracted Driving Graffiti Artist Competition: Throughout the weekend Graffiti artists will be at the event participating in a graffiti competition. The purpose is to create art that speaks to distracted driving. The winning artist will receive a $500 prize.
Distracted Driving Art: Children will have an opportunity to place their hand prints on large cell phone cut outs which surround a wrecked vehicle. The goal is to increase awareness of the prevention of distracted driving.
Cone Zone Distracted Driving Simulator: Adults and youth are invited to drive through a simulated Cone Zone environment.
This feature at the rodeo is in support of the Cone Zone Campaign, a road safety initiative that encourages drivers to take care when driving near roadside workers.
