Road Safety Advice For Children - The Green Cross Code

15 January 2020 (by admin)

Even though the Green Cross Code is taught in schools it needs to be reinforced at home by parents/guardians practicing and explaining the code to children.

When crossing roads follow these simple steps:

  1. Always find a safe place to cross, then stop
  2. Stand on the pavement, but not too close to the edge.
  3. Look & Listen in all directions for any traffic. 
  4. Cross when there is no traffic and there is enough time to get to the other side. If you are not sure ,don't cross.
  5. Keep looking and listening for traffic as you cross. 
  6. Walk straight across the road. Do not run
