ADVICE TO PEDESTRIANS

• Always use the footpath while walking and keep away from the edge of the road. Walk in a single file. If there is no footpath, walk facing the oncoming traffic.
• Watch out for open drains and other hazards like banana skins and walk carefully.
• Always use the Zebra Crossings while crossing the road. If there is no Zebra Crossing, cross from a point wherefore you have a clear view of the traffic on both sides. Never cross at road bends and avoid crossing between parked vehicles.
• Never play on the streets as you could be hit by a moving vehicle.
• Use light coloured clothes at night. You would want motorists to see you - wouldn't you?
• Follow the Pedestrian light signals, wherever available.
• Always use subways, foot-overbridges and footpaths. Do not push your way through road dividers or railings.

-- Stop at the Kerb
