Grandad:

Now this is a

PEDESTRIAN
LIGHT
CONTROLLED
CROSSING.

The

PELICAN CROSSING

To cross the road, you press the button and wait. Wait until the red man changes to the green man.

Close up of green man. Crossing makes beeping sound.


See? Yes, now if all is clear, we can cross.

They cross the road.


There we are. Oh dear, I've left me brolly behind.

Girl:

I'll get it, Grandad!

Grandad:

No! Stop! The green man is flashing.

Girl:

Ooh!

Grandad:

Yes. That means the lights are about to change.

Girl:

Ooh!

Grandad:

So you mustn't start to cross.

Girl:

Ooh! I see.

Grandad:

There's a good girl. Now remember, you have to wait until the red man changes to green. Then, if all is clear, cross.

Close up of traffic light is in cloud bubble above Grandad's head. Crossing beeps on green man as before.

Girl:

Ah!

Grandad:

Don't forget, when the green man flashes, it's too late to step out.

Oh, it's started to rain. [Sniffs.] Wish I'd brought me brolly!
