• keeping to the left of the footpath
• being aware of the vehicles coming in and out of the driveways
• not being distracted by mobile devices or by other people
• using a safe, alternative way home in wet weather
• showing respect to other pedestrians.

STOP! one step back from the kerb.

LOOK! continuously look both ways.

LISTEN! continuously look both ways.
