Cross with
pictures & steps.
Big pictures, short words, and a checklist for every crossing.
Easy-read signal practice
Learn the three signals with big pictures and clear words.
- Always cross with a buddy or trusted person when you are learning a new corner.
- Wear bright colors or a reflective band so drivers see you easily.
- Carry an ID card with your name, a phone number, and your home address.
- If the signal starts flashing red while you're walking, keep going — don't turn back.
- Practice the same safe corner many times before trying a new one.
- • W 72 St & Broadway — long walk phase, wide refuge island.
- • E 14 St & Union Sq W — audible signal beeps say "walk".
- • W 34 St & 8 Ave — clear sight lines, slow turning traffic.
Always cross with the white walker. Hold a buddy's hand at busy corners.
