Report reply 889 1,751 Posted July 16, 2010 I'll call this On Bike, On Foot 10 Do's, 10 Don't's and provide just the Do's. Do ride to the side of the road. Do hand signal before changing lane or direction. Do look carefully before jaywalking. Do obey traffic signals. Do ride single file. Do yield to oncoming and passing traffic. Do cross the road at pedestrian crossings. Do behave yourselves, students, when walking together. Do look after children out on the street. Do keep traffic laws in mind.
