Because the school is located on a busy main road, experiential learning was conducted to allow students to experience firsthand the characteristics and dangers of trucks, and to predict hazards using dashcam footage and a bicycle simulator.
The school is a special needs high school that aims for social independence through employment. Students shared comments that contributed to increased awareness of traffic safety, such as, "If I end up working with trucks at my job, I want to be careful about turning radius and blind spots."
