Try not to cross at a junction unless there is a proper crossing place. If there is no proper crossing place at the junction, it will be safer to cross away from it where there are fewer traffic movement to look out for.

Do not cross diagonally over a junction or use the centre island of a roundabout, unless there is a pedestrian crossing. Cross one arm of a junction at a time following the Road Crossing Code. Look out for crossing places carefully, particularly across a main road, and choose the safest route, trying to minimise the number of crossings. Watch out for turning traffic. Drivers, particularly at ʻGive wayʼ or ʻStopʼ lines, who may be preoccupied in looking for a safe gap in traffic, may not give way to you.

Take into account signals given by a police officer or traffic warden in controlling traffic at a junction to judge whether the traffic is going to stop. If the police officer or traffic warden is also controlling pedestrians, you must wait for his or her signal to cross.

Watch out for traffic turning into the road, particularly those rounding the corner from behind. Look over your shoulder.

If the junction includes one-way road, pay particular attention to the direction of coming traffic.

Do not cross diagonally over a junction. Cross each arm of the junction separately.

Use proper crossing places wherever possible particularly in crossing a main road.
