1. THINK FIRST AND HAVE A PLAN
Find the safest place to cross then stop. If available, cross the road at a zebra crossing or traffic light crossing or where there is a police officer or a traffic warden. Wait on the pavement until the traffic has completely stopped. If not available, choose a place where you can see clearly along the roads in all directions, and where drivers can see you.
2. STOP
Stand on the pavement little way back from the edge. You should be away from the traffic but still be able to see all around. Even if there is no pavement stand at a little distance from the edge.
Do not be in an hurry, give yourself time and have a good look around.
3. WATCH AND LISTEN
Look for traffic in all directions and listen.
4. WAIT UNTIL IT'S SAFE
Wait patiently and let the traffic pass. Cross when there is a safe gap and you are sure there is enough time. Do not cross if you are not sure.
5. WATCH AND LISTEN
When it's safe, walk directly across the road. Keep looking & listening while crossing. Make sure you do not have headphones on.
Good luck!!
