Rules for Safe Street Crossing
Rules for Safe Street Crossing
The following are rules you need to teach your children to keep them safe while crossing
streets.
Cross with an adult or older friend. (Young children still need supervision around
traffic up to at least age 10.)
Cross at intersections with traffic signals, when possible.
Use the crosswalk when crossing near a corner. Watch for turning vehicles.
Stop at the curb. Look left, right, left, and over your shoulder for traffic. Continue to
look as you cross.
Stop to look around parked cars or other objects that block the view of traffic. Let
oncoming traffic pass, then look again before crossing.
Make eye contact with drivers to make sure they see you.
