Pedestrians should walk on pavements or any path along the side of a road if provided. Where possible, avoid being next to the kerb with your back to the traffic, always walk facing traffic coming towards you. If you have to step into the road, look left, right then left again before attempting to cross. Do not attempt to run across the road as you may trip and fall or try to beat vehicular traffic coming towards you.
How to cross the road First find a safe place to cross; a place where there is space to reach the pavement on the other side. Where there is a zebra-crossing nearby, use it. It is safer to cross using a zebra crossing, or where there is a crossing point controlled by a police officer or a school crossing patrol. Otherwise choose a place where you can see clearly in all directions. Try to avoid crossing between parked cars, on a blind bend, or close to the brow of a hill. Move to a space where drivers and riders can see you clearly.
At all crossings be sure to always check that the traffic has stopped before you start to cross.
