Crossing the Street Safely

Here are some simple rules to follow when crossing the street.

  • If you are 10 years old or younger, always cross the street while holding hands with a grown-up.
  • Stop at the curb or edge of the street.
  • Listen and look for traffic to your left, then to the right, and then to the left again.
  • Wait until the street is clear.
  • Keep looking left and right until you have crossed the street safely.
  • To be on the safe side, always hold hands with a grown-up while walking through a parking lot.
  • If possible, cross the street at an Intersection.
