The Green Cross Code is guide for everyone showing you how to cross the road safely.

1. THINK FIRST
Find the safest place to cross, then stop.

If possible cross the road using zebra crossings, pelican crossings, traffic light crossings, subways and footbridges or where possible where there is a police officer, school crossing or traffic warden.

2. STOP
Stand on the pavement near the kerb

Give yourself lots of time and have a good look around. Stand well back from the kerb where you will be away from traffic but where traffic can clearly see you.

3. USE YOUR EYES AND EARS
Look all around for traffic and listen.

Look in every direction. Listen carefully, you can sometimes hear traffic before you can see it.

4. WAIT UNTIL IT'S SAFE TO CROSS
If traffic is coming let it pass.

Do not cross unless there is a safe gap and you are sure there is plenty of time. If you are not sure then don't cross.

5. LOOK AND LISTEN
When it is safe, walk straight across the road.

Always walk across the road, never run.

6. ARRIVE ALIVE
Keep looking and listening for traffic while you cross.
