Road Safety Tips for Pedestrian

Though Pedestrian is the most important constituent of traffic, he belongs to high risk group on road. In order to remain safe from perils of road, pedestrian should cultivate the habit of using road infrastructure in proper manner. Subways, Zebra Crossings, Foot over bridges should be used to cross the road. Short cuts & easy options of crossing roads are dangerous & should not be resorted to.

F Avoid crossing road where drivers may not be able to see you.
F Wait for suitable gap in the traffic flow before crossing the road.
F Never jump over the divider railings. You may tumble on to the traffic.
F Always hold hands of children while crossing the road.
F Avoid using roads for morning walks and jogging.
F Take extra care if you have to cross the road on or nearest a crest or curve.

F Crossing road by the shortest and most direct route reduces your time on road.

Children are more susceptible to the dangers of road. It is not solely the drivers of the vehicles who cause accidents but carelessness of children and lack of awareness which add up to the cause of accidents on road. Teach your brothers and sisters to walk on footpath, encourage him/her to use subways, zebra crossing etc. If you will do the right thing on road, your brothers and sisters will also follow you and will remain safe in traffic.

F Stop at the kerb.
F Look at your right, left and right again.
F Ensure that no vehicle is approaching. Then walk across the road.



Safer cycling tips for cyclist

As bicycle is the most popular and widely used non-motorized vehicle, a cyclist should know the traffic rules. Almost 40% of injuries and fatalities of cyclists happen to children below 16 years. Never learn cycling on public roads. Learn it in safer places like parks or play ground in the presence of an adult.
