Traffic Lights

A traffic light helps people cross the street safely. Here are rules to follow when crossing a street.

Always cross with a grown-up. Wait for the light to turn green. Green means go. Look both ways to make sure cars stop. Walk across the street.

Remember this poem:

Watch a traffic light to know.

Red means stop, and green means go. 

When cars stop, the street is clear.

You can cross, and have no fear.
