Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)
How do you cross a road safely for children aged 7-11?
To cross safely, stop at the edge, look and listen for traffic, and only cross when it is safe. Keep looking while you cross, and avoid running or using a phone near the road.
Why is it safer to cross at a zebra crossing or pelican crossing?
These crossings are designed to help people cross more safely because drivers expect pedestrians there. Using a proper crossing can make you more visible and reduces risky guesswork.
What should children do if a ball rolls into the road?
Children should not run into the road after a ball. They should stop, stay on the pavement, and ask a trusted adult for help, because traffic can appear quickly and drivers may not see them.
