Pedestrians
Safety tips:
- Always use a crossing, a refuge (traffic island), or a crossing with pedestrian lights if one is available.
- Never assume that a driver has seen you and will stop for you. Before crossing the road, think about whether an approaching driver can see you.
- When driving never assume a pedestrian has seen you.
- At night carry or wear something light in colour.
- The best way to protect children near traffic is to hold their hand. It is recommended that near traffic an adult always supervises children under the age of 10.
- Children learn about road safety by watching and copying adults, particularly parents and carers, so set them a good example by always crossing the road at a crossing or at traffic lights where they are available.
