THINK!
Is this a safe place to cross? Can I see clearly in both directions and can the driver see me? Is there a pedestrian crossing that I could use?
STOP!
STOP before you get to the kerb, leaving space so that you are not standing too close to the traffic. Little children should hold their grown-up's hand or a buggy.
LOOK!
Take a good look all around you. It is important that you can see clearly in all directions. Look right, then left and then check your right again to make sure it is safe to cross.
LISTEN!
It is important to listen because sometimes you can hear the traffic coming before you can see it.
CROSS!
If there is traffic coming, let it pass before looking and listening again, until it is safe to cross. when it is safe, cross the road in a straight line to the other side. DO NOT run. Keep looking and listening as you cross.
Remember:
Emergency services such as the Police, Fire Service and Ambulance Service will all have their blue lights flashing and their sirens going if they are on their way to an emergency. If you see one coming, take a step back and let the vehicle pass.
