Plan Before You Go
• Think about where you’re going and plan your walk.
• Choose footpaths and quiet streets.
• Wear bright clothes so cars can see you.
• Tell someone where you’re going.
Crossing the Road
• Stop. Look. Listen. Think.
• Use a zebra crossing or traffic lights to cross the road.
• Look left. Look right. Look again.
• If at lights, wait for the green walk man before you cross.
• Keep looking while you walk.
Safety Tips
• Don’t look at your phone while walking – you may walk into something.
• Watch for driveways and turning cars.
• If you are unsure, ask someone to help.
• Don’t walk too close to the edge of the footpath.
