Safety on the pavement

The pavement, the bus and the train are often very busy. There are a lot of things to look out for here to help keep everyone safe.
1

On the sidewalk:

  • Keep a sufficient distance between you and others.
  • Watch others closely. Only then you can see what they intend to do next.
  • Pay attention to your speed. Do not ride the bicycle too quickly. Otherwise, you will not be able to stop in time.
  • Never run, play or push people! That can be dangerous!
2

On roads declared for playing:

  • Roads declared for playing are areas where there is little traffic. Playing is allowed on the entire road.
  • But be careful! Do not put yourself or others in danger.
  • Watch out for cars and cyclists.
  • Show consideration for others when playing.

At the bus stop:

  • Be still while waiting for the bus or the train. Don’t play, and stay away from the road.
  • When the bus or the train arrives let the other passengers get off first before you hop in yourself.
  • Do not shove others when hopping in.

While riding public transport:

  • Be considerate. Offer your place to the elderly or people with their leg in plaster or leaning on crutches.
  • Do not place your school bag on a seat as other passengers will want to sit down too.
  • Place your school bag in your lap or between your legs. Never leave it in the aisle as someone could stumble over it.
  • If the bus/train is crowded do not push or shove.
  • When getting out do not push!
