When you are in England, you must be very careful in the streets because traffic drives on the left. Before you cross a street, you must look to the right first and then the left.

If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then the people on foot can cross the road carefully. If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go on, but people on foot must not cross.

In the morning and in the evening, when people go to or from work, the streets are very busy. Traffic is most dangerous then.

When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful, too. Always remember that traffic moves on the left. So you must be careful. Have a look first, or you will go the wrong way.
