We at the Garvey have got a new crossing at our centre as the road has become very busy. We had Garda Paula Creegan Community Police Officer doing the safe crossing programme with us recently. She was very nice and friendly and talked to us about safety and using a zebra crossing correctly.

She said:

* Look up and down checking for traffic.

* If ok put your foot on the edge of the crossing to indicate to drivers that you want to cross the road.

* Give drivers time to stop.

* Walk across looking right and left.

She gave us all reflective arm bands. We practiced crossing the road after that.
