Common Causes of Accidents

Crossing The Road Safely

Do not play or use gadgets like handphones, music player or gaming devices. Do not wear your headphones or ear pods. This is to ensure that you remain alert to potential danger.

If there is no footpath, walk in a single file and keep close to the side of the road facing the traffic whenever possible.

Smart phones can make you do non-smart things.	Keep your head up and your phone down while crossing the street.
