And the answer is...

Question 1:
I always listen to what the School Warden is telling me.
Is that TRUE or FALSE?

That's TRUE! You should also pay attention to what the School Warden is telling you – it's their job to help you cross the road safely!


Question 2:
When I'm late for school in the mornings, I run across the road to save some time.
Is that TRUE or FALSE?

That's FALSE! You should never run across the road, even if you are late for school. Think about it - when you run, you have less time to see what traffic is around you!


Question 3:
I always stop at the edge of the footpath before I cross the road – even when I think that there are no cars around.
Is that TRUE or FALSE?

That's TRUE! You should always stop at the edge of the footpath before you cross the road. Cars and buses can travel very quickly so stop and look before you cross!


Question 4:
If it's dark outside and if I'm walking home from school, I always make sure that I have my glow-in-the dark armband or reflective school bag with me. Other people can see me better!
Is that TRUE or FALSE?

That's TRUE! To help drivers and cyclists see you on the road, you should always wear bright clothes and ‘glow-in-the dark' or reflective armbands or jackets. They all make you easier to see at night!


Question 5:
When I'm crossing the road with the help of a School Warden, I should cross the road behind their back, even if they can't see me.
Is that TRUE or FALSE?

That's FALSE! If the School Warden can't see you, then they can't help you cross the road! You should always cross the road in front of the School Warden.


Question 6: Bonus Question
When I cross the road, I only need to look out for cars.
Is that TRUE or FALSE?

That's FLASE! When you're crossing the road, you need to look out for ALL road-users, such as cars, buses, motorbikes, cyclists AND other people who are walking.


Congratulations!

Well Done
