SOPHIA: Walking Safely Near Traffic!

TY: Did you know that you're a pedestrian

TY: at some point every day?

BRANDON: I'm a pedestrian!

DREW: I'm a pedestrian!

ETHAN: I'm a pedestrian!

NOELIA: I'm a pedestrian!

SEAN: I'm a pedestrian!

SYDNEI: So who is a pedestrian?

KATE: Someone who walks!

DREW: Someone who walks!

BRANDON: Someone who walks!

SEAN: These are all pedestrians, too!

TY: Why should you walk?

DREW: It's good for me!

BRANDON: It's great exercise,

BRANDON: it makes me feel good,

BRANDON: and it keeps me strong!

KATE: It's a fun way to hang out!

CYRANI: It's good for the environment!

NOLIA: It's relaxing!

SOPHIA: It gets me where I want to go!

SYDNEI: Do you know how to be a smart pedestrian

SYDNEI: when you're walking near the road?

KIDS: Yes!

TY: Okay, let's see.

TY: What should you always be looking out for

TY: when you're walking near the road?

SEAN: Cars!

DREW: Trucks!

NOELIA: Buses!

KATE: Bicycles!

BRANDON: Emergency Vehicles!

KIDS: Traffic!

SYDNEI: Where should you walk

SYDNEI: when you're walking near the road?

CYRANI: If there is a sidewalk,

CYRANI: I should always walk on the sidewalk.

SEAN: It's better to walk on the sidewalk

SEAN: because that's where drivers expect to see me.

DREW: If there isn't a sidewalk,

DREW: I walk on the left side of the road

DREW: facing traffic.

NOELIA: That way I am facing the cars

NOELIA: that are closest to me.

NOELIA: I can see traffic better

NOELIA: and I'm able to react to it.

CYRANI: I don't walk in the road.

CYRANI: I always keep a safe distance

CYRANI: from the road and traffic.

TY: What else should you do to walk safely?

KATE: We stay together.

KATE: I don't walk ahead

KATE: and never run.

SEAN: I stay away from busy roads.

SOPHIA: I plan a safe route with my parents

SOPHIA: and follow it.

BRANDON: I make sure younger kids stay near me.

BRANDON: I set a good example for them.

DREW: I am aware of what's around me.

DREW: I don't get distracted

DREW: and make sure I have a clear view of the roadway.

SYDNEI: One of the most important things you can do

SYDNEI: to walk safely near traffic

SYDNEI: is to make sure that drivers can see you,

SYDNEI: especially after the sun goes down.

SYDNEI: What can you do to be seen by drivers?

CYRANI: I wear bright colors!

NOELIA: I wear reflective materials,

NOELIA: and I carry a flashlight or a strobe light!

TY: Driveways can be dangerous for pedestrians.

TY: What should you do to walk safely across driveways?

NOELIA: I watch for cars at driveways.

NOELIA: I always look left, right, left

NOELIA: and behind

NOELIA: to make sure cars aren't pulling

NOELIA: in or out of the driveway.

SOPHIA: I stop for moving cars in driveways.

SOPHIA: I wait until the driver sees me and stops

SOPHIA: or until the car passes.

CYRANI: I stop for cars with backup lights in driveways.

CYRANI: I wait until the driver sees me

CYRANI: or until the backup lights go off.

SEAN: I stop for cars pulling into driveways.

SEAN: I wait until the driver sees me and yields

SEAN: or until it is safe to cross the driveway.

SYDNEI: It looks like you're on your way

SYDNEI: to being a smart pedestrian.

SYDNEI: Knowing how to walk safely near traffic

SYDNEI: is the first step.

TY: Have fun,

SYDNEI: be safe, and...
