Everyday many people are involved in road accidents. Some are killed. Many more are injured or maimed. So it is important for us to learn to use the roads properly and safely. As the roads are very busy nowadays, we should be very careful when crossing one. It is safer to use a pedestrian crossing or an overhead bridge wherever one is available.
Never cross a road by dashing across it. That is inviting trouble. If there are no crossings, then we must look carefully right and left and cross only when it is safe to do so. It is important that we do not try to get on or off a bus while it is still moving. Using a bicycle can be dangerous too. We must pay attention on the road and never cycle too far out to the middle of the road.
We must obey all traffic rules. Also we must make sure our bicycles are in good condition with working brakes, lights etc. These are something we can do to avoid accidents. The important thing is to stay alert at all times while using the roads.
We must know what is happening around us. In that way we can take necessary action to avoid danger whenever we see one. Road safety is very much up to how we use the roads. Use them carefully and we may be able to use them for a long time,
