A person who is walking is called a pedestrian.

​Pedestrian

When you are crossing a road, you need to look for a crosswalk. There are many different types of crosswalks. The crosswalk with stripes is called a Zebra crosswalk. Do you know why?

​

​Crosswalks

Another type of crosswalk is much like the zebra crossing. It is clearly marked so that people can see what it is, where it starts and where it ends.

There are also signs that can indicate to someone that it is a safe place to cross.

​Signs that are important

Some crosswalks have no signs to indicate that it is a crosswalk. This could be very dangerous. Do you know why?

​

​Unmarked Crosswalk

Another type of crosswalk is one that has signals to indicate when you should cross. These crosswalks are mostly in big cities where there is a lot of traffic.

​Signal Crosswalk

​You have done well on this lesson-Now you can test your knowledge

Some crosswalks will give a signal or light to indicate when a pedestrian should cross. When the signal is red you should STOP! When the signal is green, that means GO!

​

​Crosswalks with a light or signal

Sometimes there is a crossing patrol person or "lollipop" who can indicate when it is safe to cross. They hold a sign that has Stop on one side and Go on the other side.

​The Crossing Patrol Person

When riding your bike you should always be sure to wear your helmet. Do you know why this is important?
