Pedestrian communications toolkit

• It’s easy to become complacent about safety, especially on a familiar route. Taking risks and not being aware of your surroundings can have serious consequences.
• It’s important to Stop. Look. Listen. Think. Use a safe place to cross the road. Look continuously both ways. Listen for the sound of approaching traffic. Think whether it is safe to cross.
• Always use pedestrian crossings. They are the safest way to cross the road.
• Stay safe when walking by wearing bright, light-coloured and reflective clothing at night or when it’s hard to see.
• Take your earphones and put away your phone before crossing the road.

• Trucks have blind spots. Take extra care as drivers can’t always see you.
• Only cross at designated pedestrian crossings.
• Don’t be distracted by mobile devices and remove headphones before crossing the road.
• Always look out before you step out when crossing the road.

• Plan ahead and don’t rush for the bus.
• Obey traffic signals and cross with care.
• Avoid being distracted by mobile devices.
• Stand back from the kerb when waiting for a bus.
• Wait until the bus has gone then use a safe place to cross the road.

• Take extra care around trams and tram tracks – remember trams can’t always see you.
• Don’t cross directly behind a team as other road users may not be able to see you.
• Cross at designated pedestrian crossings where available.
• Don’t be distracted by mobile phones, and remove headphones before crossing the road.
• Always look left and right, and check twice for trams before you cross the road.

• Consider the time it will take you to cross a road or driveway. Wait for oncoming vehicles to pass or reverse from the driveway before crossing.
• Use safe places to cross the road such as pedestrian crossings or traffic lights with pedestrian signals. If you can’t find a crossing nearby, always look for the safest place to cross, even if you have to walk further down the road.
• When crossing the road - take the shortest, most direct route to get to the other side. If there’s a pedestrian refuge island, use it to safely cross the road in two stages.

• An adult should always be responsible for your child’s safety when out and about.
• Talk to your child about safe behaviour on the footpath. It’s not a safe place to play as it is near the road and vehicles may be entering or exiting driveways.
• Until your child is at least 8 years old, hold their hand: on the footpath; in the car park; when crossing the road.

• You must give way to pedestrians crossing the road if you are driving or riding.
• You must give way to pedestrians if there’s a danger of colliding with them, even if there’s no marked pedestrian crossing.
• When approaching a crossing, drivers and riders must slow down and, if necessary, stop safely before the crossing.
• Be aware that pedestrians are hard to see at night and in poor weather.
• Don’t assume that a pedestrian has seen you and will wait for you to go past.
• Be mindful that vulnerable pedestrians may need extra time to cross the road – children can be difficult to see an may act unpredictably.

• When driving in a shared zone, give way to all pedestrians and keep to the 10km/h speed limit.
• Take extra care and slow down when driving or riding on roads through high pedestrian activity areas such as near shopping precincts, public transport hubs and hospitals.

• Slow down to 40km/h in school zones and stay aware of crossings.
• At a Children’s Crossing, follow the directions of the School Crossing Supervisor. If theirs is no supervisor, always give way to pedestrians approaching the crossing.
• Always park and turn legally around the school. U-turns and three-point turns are dangerous.
• Never park in a bus zone or in the school bus bay.
