Hello. Welcome back to class.
Pupils hurt by traffic are often killed and seriously injured. Some people do dangerous things when walking or cycling, such as texting on their phone while crossing a road. Before crossing the road we must pay attention to traffic lights and obey it to avoid any form of accidents.
ROAD MARKINGS
This is any kind of device or materials that is used on a road surface in order to convey official information. It provides guidance and information to drivers and pedestrians.
The lines in road markings are symbols painted on the road to keep us safe. The white line
that is painted in the middle of the road is there to keep the traffic on the correct side of the
road. Cars go one way on the right-hand side and they drive in the opposite direction on the
other side of the road.
- The line on the edge of the road can only be crossed if the driver is going off the road.
- There are white markings where there is a crosswalk to show pedestrians where they can
walk and also for the cars to know that there is a crosswalk for pedestrians. The word STOP
is painted on the road as well.
- Sometimes there are pictures, such as bicycles painted on the pavement or road, to show
that bicycles are allowed to use it.
- Zebra markings are painted on the road where pedestrians are allowed to cross.
Examples are:
