4. Specific Rules for Pedestrians

• Where there is a pavement or suitable verge, pedestrians should use it.
• If there is no pavement or suitable verge, walk on the right side of the road facing on-coming traffic.
• Be prepared to walk in a single file, especially on narrow roads or in poor light.
• Use designated crossing points, where these are provided. Where there are no designated crossing points, cross at straight stretches of the road when/where it is safe to do so. Always yield to vehicular traffic.
• At night or in failing light, make yourself more visible by wearing bright coloured clothing or reflective material.
• Do not allow young children onto the road on their own. Accompany them, hold their hands firmly, and ensure that you keep between them and traffic.
• Avoid crossing the road in front of any stationary vehicle or behind any reversing vehicle. Passengers disembarking from a bus

• Avoid distractions of any kind, including using cellphones when crossing or walking along the road.
• Do not get onto or hold on to a moving vehicle.
• Do not venture onto the road if you are not in the right frame of mind.
