Safety On The Road

Key Notes:

Use the Sidewalk

• Always walk on the sidewalk or footpath.
• If there’s no sidewalk, walk facing the traffic on the side of the road.

Cross the Road Safely

• Always use a zebra crossing or pedestrian bridge.
• Look left, then right, and then left again before crossing.
• Cross when the road is clear or when the traffic light shows the pedestrian signal.

Follow Traffic Lights

• Red light means stop.
• Yellow light means wait.
• Green light means go, but always check for vehicles.

Avoid Running on the Road

• Do not run or play near the road.
• Stay calm and alert while walking.

Hold an Adult’s Hand

• Always hold an adult’s hand when crossing the road or walking in busy areas.

Stay Alert Near Vehicles

• Do not stand too close to parked cars or buses.
• Avoid crossing behind or in front of moving vehicles.

Wear Bright Clothing

• Wear bright or reflective clothes when walking in low light to help drivers see you.

Be Careful on Two-Wheelers

• Always wear a helmet if riding a bicycle or sitting on a motorbike with an adult.
• Sit properly and hold tight.

Know Road Signs

• Learn simple road signs like STOP, SCHOOL ZONE, and PEDESTRIAN CROSSING.

Stay Calm in an Emergency

• If lost or in trouble, stay in one place and ask for help from a traffic officer or a trusted adult.
