Safety

  • If you have to walk on roads where there’s no sidewalk, always walk against traffic. Try to stay off the road as much as possible.
  • When crossing the street, always look left, then right, then left again. Cars will approach on the left first. If there are parked cars blocking your view, go to the nearest corner cross walk.
