How to Walk Safely
1. Where there is a pavement or footway, use it.
2. Where there is no pavement and you have to walk along the road, keep as close as possible to the edge of the road, and walk on the side of the road that faces oncoming traffic. This means that the road should be on your left. This will allow you to keep traffic in full view and when necessary, step off the road to avoid any danger.
The golden rule is ‘Always Face Oncoming Traffic'
3. If you have to walk on a pavement in the same direction as traffic flow, keep well to the inside of the pavement. Being too near the edge or walking on the road, is dangerous. You may accidentally slip or step off the pavement and right into the path of an oncoming vehicle behind you.
4. Children should always walk at the right side of adults, and hold their hands.
5. Follow the Crossing Code's 6 steps.
