When sidewalks pedestrians should always walk on them. When there are no sidewalks for pedestrians must walk on the right side of the road. When crossing a road at an intersection always obey traffic lights (pedestrian lights) and when there are no traffic lights use the zebra crossings (pedestrian crossings). When a pedestrian bridge to cross the road or underpass use it for that purpose. When crossing the road always look at both sides of the road to see if a car comes and see if the cars have stopped and cross it after having it checked. Although the road passes by the zebra crossing and the green light beware of vehicles that turn left and right. 
Never start to cross the road suddenly or hastily. Never play on the road. On roads with poor visibility must first stop to check that there is no car neither left nor right, and when satisfied that no cars are able to cross the road. Before crossing the railway level crossings and other first be stopped without fail, and once proven to be safe to cross may cross the road. At night we recommend that you wear clothing with reflectors and light-colored clothing. 3 Rules for Bicycles
