road safety

[and1inthetree]

too many people were run over last year by not following the green cross code. or not enough of the right people, or whatever.

 

inspired by zody, here it is.

 

The Green Cross Code In Detail

 

The Code was introduced in 1971 to replace the Kerb Drill which, due to the increasing volumes of pedestrian accident injury was becoming ineffective. The Green Cross Code is more specific and gives children and their parents’ positive instructions regarding crossing roads. One problem had been that children were getting confused between 'right' and 'left' and were not looking properly but simply going through the motions. This new code which included the phrases 'look all round' and ‘listen’ aimed to make children more aware of the environment all around them and think then act accordingly :-

 

First find a safe place to cross then stop.

Stop just before you get to the kerb.

Look all around for traffic and listen.

If traffic is coming, let it pass.

When it is safe walk straight across the road - do not run.

 

The Green Cross Code :-

 

First find a safe place to cross then stop :-

 

The safest places to cross are protected places such as Pelican Crossings or Zebra Crossings but care must be taken even at these places to ensure that the traffic has stopped. Pedestrian footbridges or underpasses are even safer because they separate pedestrians from the traffic. When travelling to school always follow the schools designated "safe route". Always use the School Crossing Patrol. If there are no protected places then you must find a place where you can see the traffic and the drivers can see you. This means away from parked cars and if possible, not at a road junction where traffic could be coming from different directions.

 

 

Stop just before you get to the kerb :-

 

Stop in a position where you can see the traffic and the drivers can see you. Stop a little way back from the kerb not right on the edge.

 

 

Look all around for traffic and listen :-

 

Look and listen carefully in all directions, if you have to cross near a junction you must look and listen for traffic using the side road as well as that on the main road. It is better to cross well away from junctions if you can to reduce the risk of a pedestrian accident injury.

 

 

If traffic is coming, let it pass :-

 

If you can see or hear any traffic coming let it pass. When the traffic has passed look all round and listen again.

 

 

When it is safe walk straight across the road - do not run :-

 

Only when you are sure it is safe should you cross the road but still keep on looking and listening for traffic while you cross.

What makes you think that Zody.

I always understood that the dross they skim off molten gold ain't worth very much.
