Notes: Safety Rules - Social Science for Class 2

Safety means to protect oneself from harm. We should always follow safety rules to keep away from danger.

Safety on the Road

• Always walk on the footpath, not on the road.
• Walk facing the oncoming traffic when there are no footpaths, so that you can see what is coming towards you.
• Think and plan the safest route to school, market, your friend’s house and other places.
• At the signal, cross only on a clear green signal.
• Running across the road is a bad idea, as you may slip and fall.
• Always cross the road at the zebra crossing.
• Before crossing the road, look to your left, then to your right and again to your left before crossing the road.
• Never play or run on the road.
