Wide Stripes Show the Way
Wide white crosswalk stripes help drivers see a crossing place and show people a path across the street.
Play the quiz as a gameA street can be hard to cross. Where should people go? Some crosswalks have wide white stripes. These painted marks show a place to cross.
A heading says, “Stripes Help.” The stripes help drivers spot the crossing place. The white paint is easy to see on the dark road.
The stripes help people, too. They show a path from one side to the other. A picture has the caption, “A path across.”
But paint cannot stop cars. Children need a grown-up's help because cars may still be moving. Wait with a grown-up until cars have stopped and it is safe. Look both ways. Keep looking as you cross together.
