Fascinating Fact:

Use safe crossing places when you can, like zebra crossings, pelican crossings, or footbridges.

In PSHE Health Education, road safety is about making sensible choices so you can travel more safely. This includes spotting hazards, crossing carefully, and understanding how distractions can stop you noticing danger.

  • Hazard: Something that could cause harm, like a turning car, a cyclist, or a hidden driveway.
  • Distraction: Anything that pulls your attention away from traffic, such as a phone, loud music, or chatting while crossing.
  • Pavement: The safer path for people to walk on, usually beside the road.
How do you cross a road safely for children aged 7-11?
