If there is no pavement or footpath, walk on the right-hand
side of the road so that you can see oncoming traffic.
You should take extra care
It is safer to cross using a subway, a footbridge, an
island, a zebra, pelican, toucan or puffin crossing, or
where there is a crossing point controlled by a police
officer, a school crossing patrol or a traffic warden.
Where there is a crossing nearby, use it. Otherwise
choose a place where you can see clearly in all
directions. Try to avoid crossing between parked cars
Help other road users to see you. Wear or
carry something light coloured, bright or fluorescent in
poor daylight conditions. When it is dark, use
reflective materials (e.g. armbands, sashes, waistcoats
and jackets), which can be seen, by drivers using
headlights, up to three times as far away as non-reflective
materials.
Emergency
vehicles. If an ambulance, fire engine,
police or other emergency vehicle approaches using
flashing blue lights, headlights and/or sirens, keep off
the road.
Buses. Get on or off a bus only when it
has stopped to allow you to do so. Watch out for
cyclists when you are getting off. Never cross the road
directly behind or in front of a bus; wait until it has
moved off and you can see clearly in both directions
