Safety tips for crossing the street:
- Stop at the curb or the edge of the road if there is no curb.
- Stop and look left, then right, then left again for moving cars before you step into the street.
- If you see a car, wait until it goes by.
- Then look left, right, left again until no cars are coming.
- If a car is parked where you are crossing, look to make sure there is no driver and that the car is not running.
- Next, go to the edge of the car and look left, right, left to see if cars are coming.
- When no cars are coming, walk - do not run - across the road.
- Keep looking left, right, left for cars while you are crossing.
Things to Remember:
- Always walk on the sidewalk if there is one.
- If there is no sidewalk, walk along the side of the road FACING TRAFFIC.
- Be seen. Brightly colored clothing makes it easier for drivers to see you during the daytime.
- Darting out in front of a parked car is dangerous.
- The driver of cars coming down the street can't see you.
