Hello All 🔦 BE SEEN, BE SAFE 🔦 Get yourself noticed and stay safe... It has been getting darker earlier in the evening for some time now, and since the clocks have gone back we would like to share some the below information for if you are out and about... The Green Cross Code... 🟢 THINK - find a safe place to cross the road.
🟢 STOP - before you get to the kerb.
🟢 LOOK - for traffic and hazards.
🟢 WAIT - if traffic is coming let it pass.
🟢 LOOK - and listen for traffic and hazards again.
🟢 CROSS - when it is safe to do so. Safety Tips! 🚗 Stay alert to traffic
• Don’t wear headphones when walking to or from school, work or generally out and about.
• Don’t use your mobile phone when crossing the road.
• Never cross the road on a blind bend.
• Never cross the road between parked cars.
• Never cross the road on the brow of a hill.
• Use a crossing where possible. 🚲 Stay safe on your bike
• Don’t use your mobile phone whilst riding your bike.
• Don’t zigzag across the road or pull out in front of traffic.
• Choose safe routes and stick to cycle paths where possible.
• Always wear a helmet when riding your bike.
• Make sure you can be seen by using lights and reflectors on your bike, clothing and bags.
• Be seen, wear reflective clothing when it’s dark and fluorescent clothing during the day. 🧒 Advice for younger children
• Hold a parent/carers hand when crossing the road.
• Always get an adult to check your bike/scooter to ensure it is safe before you use it.
• Walk to school with a friend/group of friends if possible. Also wear reflective/high visibility clothing - it might not be the fashion statement of the year, but your life is much more important. #Beseen #Besafe #Darknights Thanks, PCSO Kirsty Hunt |
