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.
