Unit 12. Road Safety.

What do the different traffic signs and signals mean?

TRAFFIC LIGHTS:

When the signal light turns green, cars go.

When the signal light turns yellow, cars should slow down and prepare to stop.

When the signal light turns red, cars stop.

OTHER SIGNS:

Car drivers, bicyclists and in-line skaters must come to a complete stop at STOP signs.

A yield sign means to slow down and be ready to stop.

Do not enter means that this is a one way street, and you may not go this way. This is also a rule for bikes and skates.

This sign means you are coming to a crosswalk. 

Car drivers, bikers and in-line skaters must stop to allow people in the crosswalk to cross the street.

If you are using a crosswalk to cross the street, you should look carefully to the  left, right and left again to be sure it is safe to cross.

This sign means you are near a school. When school is opening in the morning and closing in the afternoon, the school is a very busy and crowded area. It is important to look carefully to the  left, right and left again if you have to cross the street.
