Fascinating Fact:

The Green Cross Code is a simple guide, stop, look, listen, and think before you cross. It reminds you to check carefully for traffic.

In KS2 PSHE, road safety is about recognising risks and using safe habits every time you are near roads. You learn how to cross safely, stay alert around vehicles, and make sensible choices whether you are walking, cycling, or travelling by car.

Key Terms

Pedestrian: A person travelling on foot, including someone using a scooter on the pavement.
Crossing: A safer place to cross a road, such as a zebra crossing, pelican crossing, or traffic lights.
Hazard: Something that could cause harm, like a reversing car, a hidden driveway, or a bike coming fast.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the safest way to cross a road for KS2?

The safest way is to use a crossing if there is one nearby. If there is not, choose a clear place where you can see traffic, stop at the edge, look and listen carefully, then cross when it is safe.

Why are parked cars dangerous when crossing the road?

Parked cars can block your view and drivers may not see you stepping out. It is safer to cross away from parked cars so you can see clearly and traffic can see you sooner.

What should I do if a ball rolls into the road?

Do not run after it. Stop and tell an adult straight away, because traffic can appear quickly and drivers may not expect someone to dash into the road.
