What are the safety rules you should observe while
walking?
Come. Join Us!
It is very important to maintain road safety
while walking, as it prevents mishaps.
While walking on the road we should always take some
safety measures:
1) Use the footpath while walking on the road. If there
is no footpath so walk on the right hand side of
the road so that you can see the oncoming traffic.
2) While crossing, always use the zebra crossing. If
there is no zebra crossing, we find a safe place to
cross, where there is less traffic or the traffic is far
and we can safely walk to the other side. Never run
while crossing.
Participate in ‘The Young Journalist Mentorship
Programme’.
This program will help you become a Young Journalist by
helping you write articles, which will be published every
week. You will find that slowly, you will become an ace
writer. Every Saturday, a list of topics will be shared with
you, and you would be expected to read on the topic and
submit an article by Tuesday.
3) Only cross the road where there is space to
reach the footpath on the other side. It is safer to use
a subway or a bridge for walking.
Feedback will be shared with you, by Wednesday and you
will be asked to share an improved version if needed. Once
you share the final article, the article will be published in
the newspaper on Friday.
4) If there is a traffic light close to where you need to
cross the road, you must wait for the green figure on
the signal to glow.
Why should you participate in this programme?
5) Never stand behind a vehicle that is reversing,
showing white lights or sounding a warning.

6) Young children should not be out alone on the road.
7) While walking down the road we should not use
earphones, if you are using earphones keep down the
volume at the level where you can hear the horns of
the vehicles.
8) Chatting on a mobile while you walk is
dangerous as you are distracted and not
aware of your environment.
Following these safety rules while
walking on the road is very important.
