How can I prevent my children from injuries when crossing the road

When crossing the road, young children should be taught to:

• stop at the side of the road
• look both ways
• listen for cars or other vehicles before crossing
• hold the hand of another person
• walk, not run
• in urban areas, use pedestrian crossings
• avoid crossing the road at a curve or between parked cars
• avoid crossing roads with high-speed traffic.
