10 basic rules about road safety
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Always Use Sidewalks: | Walk on the sidewalk whenever available. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the side of the road facing oncoming traffic. |
Cross at Crosswalks | Cross the road at designated crosswalks, pedestrian crossings, or traffic signals. Wait for the green signal or the "walk" sign. |
Look Both Ways | Before crossing any road, look left, right, and left again to make sure there is no oncoming traffic. |
No Distractions | Avoid using smartphones, listening to loud music, or any other distractions while walking near or crossing roads. |
Obey Traffic Signs: | Learn and obey traffic signs, signals, and road markings. Understand what they mean and follow their instructions. |
Always Swim with Adult Supervision | Always ensure there is a responsible adult or a certified lifeguard present when swimming in pools, lakes, or other bodies of water. |
Learn to Swim: | Enroll in swimming lessons and learn how to swim properly. |
Follow Pool Rules: | These rules often include no running, no diving in shallow areas, and no rough play around the pool area. |
Be Aware of Water Depth | Never dive headfirst into unknown or shallow water, as this can lead to serious injuries. |
Use Safety Equipment | If necessary, use appropriate safety equipment, such as life jackets or floatation devices, especially when swimming in open water or unfamiliar environments. |
Obey Rip Current Warnings | Learn about rip currents and how to recognize them. Stay calm and swim parallel to the shore if caught in a rip current, rather than trying to swim against it. |
