Make sure your child understands how to use crosswalks and what the symbols mean:
Solid pedestrian symbol - It is safe to cross.
Flashing orange hand - Finish crossing, but do not initiate crossing.
Solid hand - It is not safe to be anywhere in the intersection.
Teach your child that, even if the symbols say to walk, they must look both ways to ensure traffic has stopped and watch for people turning right or left onto the road they are crossing to prevent pedestrian accidents.
