Why Pedestrian Crossing is Safer Now than the Past
In the past roads were made of gravel, which made it unsafe for cars and people. Back then rules were needed.
Now these days, there are safer ways to have less accidents and injuries. Better ways for cars and people to share the road. Less people are killed. Schools all over the world have systems running, called a Pedestrian Crossing.
Today, there are zebra crossings on a Pedestrian Crossing, which stand out, making the crossing easier to see.
There are also striped black and white poles, to show where the crossing is. On most of those poles are bright round lights.
Bright highlighted signs called lollipops are used to stop cars so people can cross. They are controlled by children in schools, who are old enough. The lollipops are hooked onto the stripped poles.
The children who carry out Pedestrian Crossing wear bright neon vests that are visible to all vehicles. There are also raincoats for different weather conditions.
So Road patrols are a safer way for all humans to cross and safer for cars and people to be on the road.
