Everyone, especially children, must learn how to cross the road. A simple code to remember is “ stop, look and listen before you cross”. The Transport Department organizes the road safety campaigns every year in order to reduce traffic accidents. Parents and teachers should educate children on the road safely. Most schools have their own School Road Safety Patrols. The School Road Safety Patrols is a uniformed group. It recruits secondary school students as members. Students in senior forms help fellow students cross the road correctly and safely on their way to and from school. When you go out alone, however, what is the best way to cross the road? First, you must find safe place to cross. These may be subways, footbridges, traffic islands, zebra, green man crossing. Of course, it is safest to be directed by a policeman or a traffic warden. If you decide to cross the road but can’t find a traffic controlled crossing place, you should choose a place where you can see clearly in all directions. You should then stand on the pavement near the kerb, look around for traffic and listen. If a car is coming, you ought to let it pass . When there is no traffic near, walk straight across the road. Do not run as you may trip. If you see a vehicle in the distance, do not cross unless you are sure you have plenty of time. It is often difficult to judge how fast cars approach you. You must never cross between parked cars where drivers cannot see you and yourself cannot see if any cars are coming. Roads are dangerous. However, if everyone takes care when crossing the road, there will be fewer traffic accidents. Our transport system will then become safer and more efficient. 1.
