Traffic Safety

     Most people consider their cars as wonderful and essential parts of their lives. We use them every day to go to work, to school, to a neighboring state for vacation, or even to Grandma’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. But, what most people often forget is that even though cars seem like fantastic conveniences that allow us to go to places that would otherwise be inaccessible, cars can also be dangerous and sometimes even deadly if we are not careful.

     Let’s first look at what you can do when you are walking to stay out of harm’s way. When crossing a street, always cross at the corner and never in the middle of the block. Even if there is a pedestrian signal or a crosswalk, be sure to look left, right and then left again to make sure that there is no oncoming traffic before you take your first across the street. If there is a pedestrian signal, cross the street only when the signal tells you that it is safe to do so. Never cross when the light is red! Also, if you see a car coming, don’t cross until it comes to complete stop. Even though you may think that a driver has seen you and is going to stop, always wait until the car first stops completely just to be safe.

　　大部份人都認為汽車是他們生活中非同尋常且重要的一部份。我們每天使用它們去上班、上學，去附近度假，或甚至到奶奶家去吃感恩節晚餐。但是，大部份人都忘了，即使汽車讓我們可以去平常到不了的地方，看起來是這麼便利得不得了的東西，汽車還是很危險，甚至我們一不小心，有時也會致命。

　　讓我們先來看看，當你走路時可以怎麼做才能遠離危險。當過馬路的時候，都要在轉角過，絕對不要在路當中才過。即使有行人號誌或人行道，在你要過馬路踏出第一步之前，也要看看左邊右邊， 確認過左右無來車才行。假如有行人號誌，只能在它告訴你是安全的，才能踏出去。當紅燈亮起時絶對不過馬路。還有，假如你看到有來車，在它完全停下之前千萬不要過。你可能覺得司機會看到你而停車，但是在車子完全停止之前，都在那等著才安全。
