Safe Cross Code | Road Safety Munster

Cork City and County Councils are asking you to help your child to learn the Safe Cross Code designed by the Road Safety Authority of Ireland this winter. It will help teach your child how to cross a road safely and you can teach them how to sing the song and dance the song by watching online at www.rsa.ie 

KNOW THE CODE!
One, two, three -  safe cross,

Four, five, six - safe cross,

One, two, three, four, five, six SAFE CROSS CODE

REMEMBER
One - look for a safe place
Two - don’t hurry, stop and wait
Three - look all around and listen before you cross the road, remember
Four - let all the traffic pass you
Five - then walking straight across 
Six - keep watching. That's the safe cross code!

Safe place STOP and WAIT, safe place STOP and WAIT
Safe ground LOOK AROUND, LISTEN for a traffic sound
If traffic’s coming LET IT PASS, Until the road is CLEAR at LAST
Then WALKING straight across the road
KEEP WATCHING, THAT’S THE CODE!
