The Green Cross Code is a guide for everyone showing you
how to cross the road safely.
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 can't find any good crossing places like these,
choose a place where you can see clearly along the roads
in all directions, and where drivers can see you. Never
cross on sharp bends or just before the top of a hill.
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.
Look all around for traffic, and
listen.
Look in every
direction.
Listen carefully
because you can sometimes hear traffic before you can see
it
If traffic is coming, let it pass.
Do not cross unless there is a safe gap and you are sure
there is plenty of time.
If you are not sure, don't
cross.
When it's safe, walk straight
across the road.
Always walk across, never
run.
Keep looking and listening for
traffic while you cross.
