Sources & review

Stop before entering the road, look all around and listen; cross only when there is a safe gap, and keep looking and listening while crossing.

Use a designated crossing when one is available and still look in both directions before stepping into the road.

Before stepping onto a crossing, take account of approaching vehicles and do not proceed until there is a safe opportunity.

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

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

At a signal-controlled crossing, follow the pedestrian signal and check that traffic has stopped before crossing.
