Traffic Rules

About

While Walking

  • Walk only on the pavement or footpath.
  • If there is no payment, walk on the right hand side of the road so that you can see the traffic coming towards you.
  • Always walk one behind the other when there is a heavy traffic. Do not rush.
  • Do not behave in the street as you do in the playground.

While Crossing

  • Cross the road at a zebra crossing, traffic light crossings aor at traffic, islands or where there is a police officer or a traffic warden.
  • Look for traffic in all directions and listen.
  • Cross when there is a safe gap and you are sure there is enough time.

While Cycling

  • Look behind before starting off, turming right or left, overtaking, or stopping and make sure it is safe.
  • Give a clear arm signal to show what you intend to do.
  • Always keep both hands on the handlebars unless you are giving a signal or changing gears.
  • Do not wear a personal stereo or use a mobile phone whilst cycling. These devices affect your concentration.
