The Green Cross Code is your guide to road safety.
Learn the important facts and keep safe when you're on the road.
The advice given within on crossing the road is for all pedestrians. Children should be taught the Code and should not be allowed out alone until they can understand and use it properly.
The age when they can do this is different for each child. Many children cannot judge how fast vehicles are going or how far away they are.
Children learn by example, so parents and carers should always use the Code in full when out with their children. They are responsible for deciding at what age children can use it safely by themselves.
This illustrated guide to the Green Cross Code is an entertaining lesson in street smarts for all ages.
