Module 02

See and Be Seen

A safer route gives you time and space to notice. Learn to spot blocked views, reduced visibility and places where you and drivers can see each other clearly.

Before you move

Read the whole scene

Clear view

Can you see traffic, and can drivers see you?

Light

Is rain, dusk or darkness making the scene harder to read?

Attention

Is your head up and your phone away?

Route

Have you practised the tricky points with a responsible adult?

Being visible helps, but it never replaces choosing a clear place and checking the traffic yourself.

What supports the choices

01 · If a parked vehicle blocks the view, find a clearer place to cross.

Avoid crossing between parked vehicles where possible; choose a place where you can see traffic and drivers can see you.

02 · Phone down. Head up. Give the road your attention.

Put the phone away and stay focused near traffic, continuing to look and listen while crossing.

03 · When it is hard to see, bright clothing and reflective details help you stand out.

In reduced visibility, bright or light-coloured clothing and reflective details can help drivers notice a pedestrian sooner.

04 · Plan and practise your route with a responsible adult, noticing places where the view is poor.

A child should practise a regular route with a responsible adult and identify crossings, junctions, hazardous sections and places with poor visibility.
