The study aims to examine the level of pedestrian safety among secondary school students. Safety issues are often debated, but up to this date, there is no specific formula to overcome this problem. For students who walk to school, they are more exposed to the risk of road accidents because they neglect and ignore safety aspects while walking to school. Therefore, safety aspects should be improved to reduce the loss of life, injury and property damage caused by accidents that happen to students who are walking to school. The study area involves two selected schools located in the Sabak Bernam district, Selangor. Sekolah Agama Menengah Muhammadiah Pekan Sabak represents the urban area and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bagan Terap represents the rural area. The questionnaire method was applied on 145 samples involving secondary students who walked to school. Data were obtained through primary and secondary sources. Primary data were obtained through questionnaires, observations, and interviews. While secondary data were obtained through library research, official documents, reports, and journals. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics presented in the forms of percentage, frequency and mean. The findings of the study on the level of pedestrian safety among the secondary students show that all four variables which are the students' behaviours, road users' behaviours, pedestrian facilities, and the environment are still at the unsatisfactory level. Several suggestions have been proposed to improve the level of safety among school students. Cooperation between the government, schools and communities are important in ensuring that pedestrians can travel safely during school trips.
