Answer
Three of the five activities are safe and two are unsafe.
| Safe | Unsafe |
|---|---|
| Looking right and left before crossing | Playing on the road |
| Crossing at a zebra crossing | Listening to loud music on the road |
| Walking on the footpath |
The reason for each one:
| Activity | Safe or unsafe | The rule it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Looking right and left before crossing | Safe | Rule 1 — “Look right, then left, again right to ensure that no vehicles are coming.” |
| Playing on the road | Unsafe | Rule 6 — “Do not play or get distracted near roads.” |
| Crossing at a zebra crossing | Safe | Rule 1 — “Always Use The Zebra Crossing” |
| Walking on the footpath | Safe | Rule 3 — “Footpaths are meant for pedestrians.” |
| Listening to loud music on the road | Unsafe | Rule 6 — headphones “can distract you from traffic sounds.” |
How to sort them yourself: Ask one question about each activity — does it keep me away from moving vehicles, or does it take my mind off them? If it keeps me away or keeps me watching, it is safe. If it takes my mind away, it is unsafe.
