Using the Code

Do you use the Safe Cross Code every time you cross the road?

Sometimes people forget to use the Safe Cross Code because they're not paying attention. They might be listening to music on headphones, talking on a mobile or chatting with a friend.

Sometimes children run into the road to catch a ball they've dropped. Or people may be walking their dog and if it's not on a lead, the dog could run into the road and cause a crash.

If you're walking a dog, you should always keep it on a lead and never run after it onto a busy street.
