Road safety tips

Some road safety tips for your children:

1. In the city, children should walk only along the sidewalk, and not along the roadway. If there is no sidewalk, then you need to go along the left side of the street, that is, towards traffic.

2. The street must be crossed at a pedestrian crossing (“zebra”). First, stop at the edge of the sidewalk and watch the movement. If the road is regulated by a traffic light, you need to wait for the green light for pedestrians, then make sure that all the cars stop and only then cross the street.

3. Explain to the children that it is dangerous to stand behind a vehicle that drives off the parking lot or parks. The driver may not notice the child due to his small stature. In addition, you cannot cross the street either in front of or behind a bus, trolleybus or tram stopping at the bus stop: the driver may not notice the pedestrian due to transport. You need to wait until the bus leaves and only then begin the transition.

4. In no case should you leave the sidewalk on the carriageway, even if other pedestrians interfere with the passage?

5. Before the child goes cycling or roller skating, make sure that he is wearing protective equipment and pieces of reflective material are attached to his clothes if it is dark outside. green metro taxi
