Road safety match up

Wait quietly and in line at the bus stop, away from the road. When you get off a bus, wait for it to leave the bus stop before crossing the road.

Always cross the road where you have a good line of sight – not in between parked cars or near corners. Use a pedestrian crossing if you can.

Car parks can be busy and dangerous so best to avoid them. Walk your bike or scooter in car parks and watch out for reversing lights.

Only cross when you see the green man is lit and always check that the traffic has stopped before you cross the road.

Stop, Look, Listen (E tū, Titiro, Whakarongo) before crossing a road or driveway.

At a pedestrian crossing wait until cars come to a complete stop and then make eye contact with the driver so they know you are about to cross.

Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland trains are mostly electric and quiet, you can’t hear them until it’s too late. Only cross railway tracks at the barriers or level crossing when the lights and bells have stopped.

Always wear a securely fastened helmet when cycling or scootering. Wear bright clothes or a hi-vis vest so that other road users can see you.
