CHAPTER 2 ROAD SAFETY
The Green Cross Code

The Green Cross Code is a guide for everyone
showing you how to cross the road safely.

1 THINK FIRST

Find the safest place to cross, then STOP.

If possible cross the road at: subways, footbridges, islands, Zebra,
Pelican and traffic light crossings... or where there is a: police officer,
school crossing patrol or traffic warden.
If you cannot find any good crossing places like these, choose a place
where you can see clearly along roads in all directions, and where
drivers can see you.
Never cross on sharp bends or just
before the top of a hill.

2 STOP

Stand on the pavement
near the kerb.

Give yourself lots of time to have a good
look all round.

Stand a little way back from the kerb - where
you will be away from traffic, but where you
can still see if anything is coming.
If there is no pavement, stand back from the
edge of the road but where you can still see
traffic coming.
