Saliq - You should hold an adult's hand to cross the road.
Muzamel - Never cross on your own. Stay on the path.
Amirah - If a car is coming, look both ways before you cross the road.
Aqsa - Let the cars go and then you can cross.
Iqra - You shouldn't cross the road between parked cars.
Laibah - Use a zebra crossing to cross the road safely.
Marta V. - Wait for the cars to stop before crossing at a zebra crossing.
