An obstacle course was on display for the kids, complete with several turns and tight spaces.
The kids got a chance to practice before hitting the road.
"This is probably the most important part of the obstacle course in the stops and turns, and so we want to make sure that they understand what a stop sign is," Jeffersontown Police Officer Felicia Burba said. "We want them to understand that before proceeding across the street or into an intersection you have to look all directions."
The officers also did car seat checks for parents.
