| Important points children and pedestrian should remember while using roads for being visible | |
|---|---|
| Make sure you are easily seen, especially seen at night and bad weather. | |
| Bright or fluorescent clothes are best for day time, especially during foggy and misty weather. | |
| During night, reflective material is the best and reflects the glare of car headlights- fluorescent clothing is not effective after dark. Reflective tape can be put on clothing, school bags and equipments. | |
| It is very dangerous to use cycle at night without a front light, a red back light and a red reflector at the back, so make sure that bicycle is properly equipped and working. | |
| Cross the road at the safest place possible. e.g at zebra or pelican, foot-over bridge or underpass. | |
| Use the Green Cross Code: Stop, Look, Listen, Leave. | |
| If you out at night, choose routes that are well lit by streetlights and cross at well-lit places. | |
