Safety
Some time during
the day we are all pedestrians. When we walk on the sidewalk, cross a street,
get in and out of a car or bus. Every year thousands of
pedestrians are victims of traffic crashes. By using common sense and following these guidelines you can prevent being the next victim. Always
cross a street at the corner Corners and crosswalks
are the safest place to cross the street. For
your safety and of others, always cross at the corner, even if it means walking
a few more steps. ü
Stop at the curb ü
Look to
your left, then to your right and then to your left again ü Now, cross, but keep on looking Obey
traffic signals It is important to obey traffic signals and to know what they mean. DON’T WALK IF YOU ARE ON THE
SIDEWALK, DO NO START CROSSING. IF

RISKS. WHEN CROSSING A STREET,
WALKING ON A SIDEWALK OR GETTING IN OR OUT OF A BUS OR CAR, ALWAYS REMAIN
