Road accidents keep happening in every city, on every road and at any time. Traffic rules are made to keep order on the road. They can also help to keep the pedestrians(行人) safe.
The pedestrian has as many rules to follow as the driver of a car. You should walk on the sidewalk or at the edge of the road. Always look carefully before you walk across the street. If you ride a bike, don’t ride in the middle of the road or look around to talk. If you drive, you should slow down at the traffic lights. You must always wear a seat belt(安全带). Without the belts, both the driver and the passengers may be badly hurt in a sudden accident.
Traffic rules are also called Road Safety rules. The maxim(格言) for all road users is “Thinking about others.”

Teenagers are the most dangerous drivers on the road. Teaching them to drive carefully is very important in helping them become safe drivers. Cellphones and friends can very often lead to accidents, but there are other factors (因素) affecting teenage drivers, like lack of (缺少) sleep, drunk driving and not wearing seat belts (安全带). Parents can set rules to help children stay safe on the road.
★ Encourage teenagers to avoid speeding. It is the most important rule to educate them. Driving too fast is very common among teenagers and is perhaps the easiest way to break traffic laws. Teenagers should be required to avoid speeding and not to ride in a car with anyone else who speeds.
★ Ask teenagers to always wear a seat belt. Whether a teenager is driving or not, he or she needs to be asked to always wear a seat belt. If the teenager is old enough to have passengers, ask passengers to wear seat belts, too.
★ Always set limits (限制) on the number of passengers. You and your teenager must agree on a set number of teenagers as passengers, but the number of passengers should not be larger than the number of seat belts in the car.
★ Set a fixed time for your teenager to be home. There should be a clear time when the teenager needs to be home. Then they will be more careful when they are in the car.
