3 BEING A GOOD PEDESTRIAN There are many things you can do to be a safe pedestrian and stay safe on the street. Here are some rules for pedestrians: Find a safe place to cross the road – if there is a subway, footbridge or crossing – use it! Look and listen carefully for traffic - cars could be coming from any direction.

4 BEING A GOOD PEDESTRIAN If traffic is coming, let it go past - do not cross until there is a safe gap and you have plenty of time to cross safely. When it is safe, go straight across the road - do not run and keep looking and listening carefully as you cross the road. Stop just before you get to the kerb -make sure you can see clearly, but dont get too close to the road.

5 BEING A GOOD PEDESTRIAN Always walk in the middle of the pavement - so that if you lose your balance you wont fall into the road. If there is no pavement – walk on the shoulder of the road facing on-coming traffic. Walk one behind the other. At night always wear white or light-coloured clothing and reflective materials or strips.
