She tells him to stop whenever the pedestrians’ traffic
light turns red. Every pedestrian should stop when there
is a sign of a red traffic light.
Again, Abdi’s mother informs her son to differentiate
yellow and green traffic lights. Whenever it turns to
yellow light, it means wait and prepare to go. When the
pedestrians’ traffic light turns a green colour, you can
cross and run away. Abdi’s mother strongly advises her
son to identify those three traffic lights before he walks
and crosses the road.
Finally, she warns him to be cautious, take care of traffic
light, and cross only on zebra crossing.
