Pedestrians: rules 1–35

Review walking and crossing guidance, including pavements, crossing facilities and situations needing extra care.

Rule 1

Pavements and footways (including any path along the side of a road) should be used if provided. Where possible, avoid being next to the kerb with your back to the traffic. If you have to step into the road, look both ways first. Always remain aware of your environment and avoid unnecessary distractions. Always show due care and consideration for others.
