At busy intersections there may be lines on the road called a crosswalk for you to walk between. There may also be special signals to tell you it is okay to cross the street. These are the WALK signal or a picture of a person walking like the ones shown here.

Always look both ways before you cross the street, by looking left, right and left again to make sure no cars are coming or turning into the crosswalk.

• If you are in the street, finish crossing the street.
• If you have not started crossing the street, stay on the curb.

• Crosswalks are two white lines painted on the road which go across the street. You should walk inside the lines.
• Cars, bicycles and in-line skates must stop to allow people in the crosswalk to cross the street.
• When you use the crosswalk to cross the street, before you step into the street, you should look carefully to the left, right and left again to be sure it is safe to cross.

• On school days this area will be busy when school is opening and closing .
• At this crosswalk, like any other crosswalk, it is important to look carefully to the left, right and left again if you have to cross the street.
• If you must walk through parked traffic, stop and look carefully before stepping out from between vehicles.
• Don't run between parked cars and buses.
• Remember the danger areas close to school buses where the driver can't see you. For more information on danger areas near school buses and public buses see:

At busy intersections there may be a DON'T WALK signal or a picture of a hand, meaning STOP like the ones shown here.

Wait to cross the street until you see a white signal like the ones at the top of the page. Then look carefully to the left, right and left again. If there is no traffic coming, cross the street.
