What are some good ways to make crossing a very busy street safer?

Crossing Busy Roads
Additional Details
We are doing a project in school to help out the city and there is a busy road nearbye the school. The kids who live across that highway have to take a bus and pay $200 just so they can get to school. We are wondering what are some good ideas on how to make crossing that highway safer for all the students and citizens who may have to cross it offen? Would some sort of walking bridge work? Or is there a really good type of Cross walk that would help? THANK YOU!!

The Highway traffic code actually does have Pedestrian rules too. In there it states that when attempting to cross a street, it should be done at a crosswalk and the pedestrian should point his/her arm straight out in the direction they intend to go..........of course, looking left, right, then left before and while crossing is also the best idea.......wearing highly visible colors and reflective clothing at night is also advisable. Pedestrians may always have the right of way, but pedestrians might also get badly injured if they don't take necessary survival precautions.

Wear a football helmet and padding. Also if at night wear reflective clothing and blow a whistle while crossing.

When I was in Taiwan, the rule there was when a pedestrian wanted to cross a street, the individual raised a hand and looked both ways. Worked very well. Other than that, controlled cross walks are the best bet. With the shorter days, light colored clothing is a plus. Remember, the most dangerous time is that transition period from day to night.

All the best.

Use a cross-walk. Or maybe walk further down the road to where it isn't so congested with traffic
