Question

Traffic is not just up set for drivers, but it can be dangerous for walkers and bike riders.

You might have been a pedestrian before when you were walking to school or to a friend’s house. If you are walking near traffic, always use the side walk. Avoid walking on the edge of the sidewalk. Walk closer to buildings just to give some extra room between yourself and traffic.

What if you need to get to a different side of street? Use something called crosswalk. This is a lane that protects pedestrians. There are traffic signals at a crosswalk that will tell you when it is safe to walk and when you should wait. Even if the sign says it is safe, always look in both directions to make sure a car isn’t coming.

Sometimes you might want to ride your bike to go to visit a friend or to school. There are some important things to remember when traveling by bike to stay safe from traffic.

Always wear brightly-colored clothing. If it is dark outside and you are wearing dark clothes, a driver may not be able to see you. Use reflectors on you bike. These are small pieces of plastic that can be fitted on your tires, front handles, and other areas of your bike. They reflect the light from car headlights so that drivers can see you.

Ride your bike in the same direction as the traffic. And don’t think that traffic lights and signals are just for those driving cars! They are important for you too. So always pay close attention.
