Do's and don'ts

What if you can't find a safe place?

If you can't find any marked crossing places, choose a place where you can see clearly along the roads in all directions, and where drivers can see you. Never cross on sharp bends or just before the top of a hill.

Try not to cross between parked cars. If there is absolutely nowhere else to cross remember the following:

Choose a place where there is a space between two cars and make sure that it is easy to get to the other side of the road.
Make sure neither car is about to move off – look for drivers in the cars, lights and listen for engines.
Walk to the outside edge of the cars and stop. Here you can be seen by drivers and can look all around for traffic.
Use the Safe Cross Code. When it is clear, cross, still looking and listening as you go.
