​Road safety

Many people enjoy walking for enjoyment or exercise. It is a wonderful way to get around.

​

​Walking on the footpath

In order for everyone to stay safe, some people and items should NOT be on the footpath.

​Can they use the footpath?

​Can this guy use the footpath?

​Can these people use the footpath?

Sometimes there is no footpath- what should you do to stay safe? What side of the road should you be on?

You should walk facing the cars!

2. Face the traffic

3. Keep your cellphone in a pocket
