Roads are useful but dangerous if we are careless.

In this lesson you will:
  • Identify safe places to cross.
  • Describe the steps for crossing a road.
  • Name people who help keep roads safe.

Crossing Safely

Use a zebra crossing or a place where you can see clearly in both directions. Then follow these steps:

  • Stop at the edge of the road.
  • Look left, right, and left again.
  • Listen for vehicles.
  • Cross only when the road is clear, and keep looking.
  • Walk, do not run.

People Who Help

Traffic wardens, road safety officers and police officers help control traffic. Traffic lights also guide drivers and pedestrians.

Think first

Never cross between parked cars — drivers may not see you.

Do not use your phone while crossing the road.

Warning If a vehicle is coming, wait. No journey is worth risking your life.

Practice

  1. List the steps for crossing a road safely.
  2. Why should you not cross between parked cars?
  3. Draw a zebra crossing and a traffic light.

Recap

Stop, look, listen and walk. Use crossings and never play near the road.
