Traffic rules help to keep order on the road. They also help to keep people safe.
The pedestrian (行人) has as many rules to follow as the driver of a car. You should walk on the
sidewalk (人行道) or at the side of the road. Always look carefully before you walk across the street.
If you like riding a bike, don't ride in the middle of the road or run through
red traffic lights. When you
ride a bike with a friend, don't look around or talk.
If you drive a car, you should slow down at the traffic lights. You must always wear a seat belt (安全带).
Without belts both the driver and the passengers may be badly hurt in a sudden accident.
You may not need to take a bus, but take care if you have to travel in one. Get on or get off a bus only
when it comes to a stop. When it is full, don't try to get inside or you may fall off.
Traffic rules are also called Road Safety rules. The maxim (格言) for all road users is "Thinking
about others".
