SDA

6th grade

Lesson 5

The purpose of the lesson : teach how to use signs for pedestrians and drivers; practice these skills.

Equipment : SDA brochure, street model with signs of a footpath, enlarged signs 1.22, 1.23, 3.9, 3.10, 4.6, 4.6, 5.19.1 - 5.19.2, 5.17.1 - 5.17.2, 5.17.3 - 5.17.4; cards with signs of different groups for the game "Connoisseurs of road signs".

The teacher begins the lesson with a conversation repeating the material covered.

What are road signs for? Road signs perform the same service as traffic lights, street and road marking lines. They regulate the flow of cars and people, facilitate the work of drivers, help pedestrians to correctly orient themselves in difficult traffic conditions.

Where and how are road signs installed? The signs are located along the entire road path so that they are always to the right of the driver so that he can see them without turning his head. Signs are fixed on special racks, on poles or suspended above the roadway.

What groups are all road signs divided into? Warning, forbidding, prescriptive, priority, information-indicative, service, additional information. There are 7 groups in total.

Practical lesson.

Stage 1 . Draw in the notebook signs 1.22, 1.23, 5.19.1 - 5.19.2; 3.10 and 4.6. Sign which group they belong to and who needs them: a pedestrian or a driver?

On all signs in the center little men are drawn. But they differ in color and shape. Which of them are signs for drivers, and which ones are for pedestrians?

These signs are from the warning group. Both of them are the same, triangular in shape with a red border. These are signs for drivers.

Sign 1.22 "Pedestrian crossing" is located in cities 50-100 m before sign 5.19.1 - 5.19.2 (note that these signs have the same names, but different meanings). Sign 1.22 warns the driver that a pedestrian crossing is coming soon, it is necessary to slow down and be extremely careful.

Sign 1.23 "Children" is located in the area of ​​​​schools, kindergartens, clubs. It warns the driver about the possibility of children appearing at this place on the road, but does not mean at all that it is possible to cross the road here.

Signs 3.10 and 4.6 for pedestrians. Both of them are round and in the center are little men, but the color of the signs is different and they belong to different groups. A sign with a red border, where the little man is crossed out, refers to prohibition signs - 3.10 "Pedestrian traffic is prohibited." The sign with the little man on a blue background belongs to the group of prescriptive signs - you can just walk here: 4.6 - “Pedestrian path”.

And another group of signs with little men. All of them are square with a blue background. These are informational signs for pedestrians, that is, they indicate where you can cross the road (see Appendix Figures 37 and 38).

6.6. "Underground pedestrian crossing".

6.7 "Elevated pedestrian crossing".

There are also signs with the same pattern in the center, but with different meaning. For example, signs 3.9 and 4.4 with a bicycle in the center for cyclists, both are round. But sign 3.9 with a red border, where a bicycle is on a white background, means "Moving on bicycles is prohibited" and belongs to the group of prohibitory signs.

Sign 4.6 "Bicycle path", where the bike is on a blue background, just says that you can ride bikes here. This sign belongs to the prescriptive group.

Stage 2 . Solve problems using a layout residential area with the road.


"Crosswalk" is an information sign.

He points to the place of the ground crossing of the carriageway of the street. Such a sign is installed near the special markings for pedestrians - "zebras".

Pay attention to the child that there is another similar sign, but triangular. It is a warning (triangular) sign, which is also called "Crosswalk". It does not designate a crossing point for pedestrians, but warns the driver that a crossing is approaching.

"Underground pedestrian crossing" is an information sign. This sign indicates the location of the underpass of the carriageway of the street. Installed near the entrance to the transition.

If you have an underground passage on your way to kindergarten or school, be sure to show it to your child.


"Tram stop"- it is also an informational sign. He informs and points out to us that public transport stops at this place.

Parents should explain to the child that this road sign, like the previous one, is important for both pedestrians and drivers.

The pedestrian on it will find out where the stop is, and the driver will be attentive, because there may be people (and especially children) at the stops.

When talking about this sign, be sure to repeat to the child how the kids should behave at the bus stop (you can’t run, jump out onto the roadway).


"Bus stop"- it is also an informational sign. He informs and points out to us that the bus stops at this place.
This sign is placed close to landing site- a place of waiting for transport for passengers.


"Bicycle lane" is a prescriptive sign. Permits movement only on bicycles and mopeds. Other modes of transport are not allowed to enter it. Pedestrians can also move along the cycle path if there is no sidewalk or footpath.

If your child already knows how to ride a bike, then you should explain to him that he can ride his bike only in the courtyard of the house. And the one where there is such a sign.

The bike paths are designed specifically for cyclists. Perhaps your city has such areas for cycling.


"Footpath"- prescriptive sign. Sometimes on the streets they arrange such a special path, intended only for pedestrians.

On this path, you must follow general rules behavior for pedestrians: keep to the right; do not interfere with other pedestrians.

Children should be explained that it is impossible to arrange games on the footpath, sledding. Cycling on the footpath is also prohibited.


"No entry" is a prohibition sign. All prohibition signs are red.

This sign prohibits the entry of any vehicles, including bicycles, on the section of the road in front of which it is installed.

It does not apply only to public transport, the routes of which pass through this section. The cyclist, having seen this sign, must get off the bike and drive it along the sidewalk, observing the rules for the movement of pedestrians.

Remind your child that if he carries his own bike and does not ride it, then he is considered a pedestrian.


"Bicycles are not allowed"- another prohibition sign.
This sign prohibits the movement of bicycles and mopeds. It is installed in places where it can be dangerous to ride a bicycle.

Usually this sign is placed on streets with a lot of traffic.

It should be remembered that cycling is prohibited on motorways, even if there is no prohibition sign.

I believe that every child should know this sign and the rules related to cycling, because children love to ride so much and, if possible, they will want to drive along the road.


"Children"- warning sign.

This sign warns the driver about possible appearance children on the road. It is installed near a children's institution, for example, a school, a health camp, a playground.

But parents should warn the child that this sign does not mean a place for children to cross the road! Therefore, a pedestrian child must cross the street in a place where pedestrian crossing is allowed and there is a corresponding sign.


"No Pedestrians"- prohibition sign.

This sign prohibits the movement of pedestrians. It is installed in places where walking can be dangerous.

This sign is often used to temporarily restrict the movement of pedestrians, for example, while roadworks are being carried out or the facades of houses are being repaired.

It should be remembered that pedestrian traffic is always prohibited on motorways and carriageways, even if a prohibition sign is not installed.

AT Russian Federation there are more and more cars every year. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult for pedestrians to move around the city, since negligent motorists often do not seek to use knowledge of road signs.

According to the Rules of the Road with amendments and additions, a pedestrian is a full participant in the road traffic, which means that he is simply obliged to follow the rules of behavior on the road. Knowledge of road signs can save health, and sometimes life.

These small images, constantly flashing on the roads, should not become an empty place for the pedestrian, but faithful assistants on the way. Their thorough knowledge, of course, will help you feel more confident on the road and not get into ridiculous situations.

One of the main signs that every pedestrian of any age should know is the pedestrian crossing sign. This sign informs that it is possible to cross the road next to it. It is located near a special marking, commonly referred to as a "zebra". This sign is square for pedestrians only, but the triangular shape of the same road sign is for motorists only.

The next sign, relevant for pedestrians of any age, will be the Underpass. It is installed at the entrance to the underground pedestrian crossing. Do not cross the roadway if this road sign is nearby.

It is quite useful to learn the signs indicating the places where the bus or tram stops. Please note that these signs are installed as close as possible to the waiting area for vehicles. If you have children, be sure to tell them about the rules of conduct while waiting for a bus or tram. The same sign is important for the driver, since his attention is sharpened when approaching a stop with people.

For every pedestrian, and especially those living in a metropolis, the road signs "Pedestrian path" and "Bicycle path" will be useful. It is worth explaining to children that the pedestrian path is intended exclusively for pedestrians, but cyclists and moped drivers can move along the bicycle path, but pedestrians can also walk along it. On these paths, you need to walk, keeping to the right side, and you should definitely not interfere with other road users.

For each pedestrian in the Rules of the road there are a number of prohibition signs. The sign "Entry is prohibited" or simply a brick means that priority in traffic will be given to pedestrians. Remember that if you are riding a bicycle, then there is no way under the sign, but if you are driving it in your hands, then the way will be free.

Another sign important for pedestrians will be a sign that prohibits the movement of pedestrians.

Knowing the road signs and traffic rules for pedestrians will help you feel more confident on the road and not create emergency situations.

These signs warn drivers that they are approaching dangerous places on the road.

Warning signs are triangular in shape, White background and red border.

Among the warning signs often found in cities is the “Pedestrian crossing” sign.

This sign is intended for drivers: it warns them that there is a pedestrian crossing ahead. Seeing such a road sign, the driver becomes very attentive and prepares to slow down - after all, there may be pedestrians ahead. But pedestrians must remember: it is impossible to cross the street in the place where the sign "Pedestrian crossing" is installed!

This sign is called "Children". Chances are you've seen it many times. It is installed near schools, kindergartens, country holiday camps, that is, in those places where children can suddenly enter or run out onto the road. Of course, there should be no children on the road! But they can appear there, and the driver should be warned about this. So they put this sign on the roads. Sometimes schoolchildren believe that this sign, like the sign "Pedestrian crossing", allows you to cross the road in this place. After all, it depicts children running across the road! No, this sign is also for drivers. So remember: this sign does not allow you to cross the road at all in the place where it is installed.

On the sign "Road works" depicted a man with a shovel in his hands. This sign warns drivers that there is construction or repair work ahead on the roadway, sidewalk, or shoulder; therefore, there may be dug pits, heaps of sand, various mechanisms and machines. All this can be very dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians. Especially in the dark. After all, the places where such work is carried out are not always fenced and lit.

Sign "Railway crossing with a barrier" warns drivers about the intersection of the carriageway with the railway tracks. At the crossing in front of which this sign is installed, during the movement of the train, the carriageway of the road is closed with a barrier - a special crossbar, which, lowering and rising, closes and opens the road through the railway crossing. For better visibility, the barrier is painted with white and red stripes. Opens and closes a barrier or an automatic device or an attendant who is at the crossing both at night and during the day. This sign warns drivers that when a train approaches, the crossing will be closed with a barrier.

On the sign " Railway crossing without a barrier» depicted a steam locomotive. This sign warns the driver: “Be careful! ahead railways not equipped with a barrier!”. Both drivers and pedestrians must decide on their own whether it is possible or not to cross or cross the railway tracks in this place. Approaching such a sign, listen carefully and look both to the right and to the left - if the train is approaching. If you are sure that there is no train, you can cross the railway tracks.

The next three signs warn drivers that there are dangerous curves on the road. If the line shown on the sign "Dangerous turn", turns right, which means that a dangerous turn of the road goes in this direction. If the line turns left, then the turn goes left.

Double curved line on the sign "Dangerous Turns" warns drivers that the road ahead is making several sharp, dangerous turns. So, you need to be very careful.

The next three signs warn drivers of the dangers that may await them on not very good roads. Each of these signs is placed in front of a dangerous section of the road.

Sign "Rough road" warns drivers that there are sections of the road ahead that have bumps, potholes, bumps.

Sign "Slippery road" installed in places where the roads are very slippery. AT good weather this section of the road is not dangerous. But during rain or snowfall, as well as autumn leaf fall or winter ice, the road in this place can become very slippery.

Pedestrians also need to be aware of these signs. Indeed, due to the poor condition of the road, the car can skid, it will drive off the road to the side of the road or drive onto the sidewalk. But there may be pedestrians.

Sign "Gravel Ejection" warns drivers and pedestrians about poor quality sections of the road. Gravel is small pebbles round shape. Sometimes they cover roads instead of asphalt or are used in road repairs. Gravel, like other small stones, is dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians. It can fly out from under the wheels of moving cars and get into nearby pedestrians or into the windows of cars. This danger is warned by the sign "Emission of gravel".

There are other warning signs, such as "Narrowing Road", "Steep Descent", "Cattle Drive", "Wild Animals", "Crossing Tramway". But it is impossible to foresee all the dangers that may arise on the road. Therefore, in cases where for a given hazard it is difficult to select suitable sign put up a warning sign "Other dangers".

Among the warning signs, there are two signs that are very important for St. Petersburg - the city of numerous embankments and bridges. These are the signs "Departure to the embankment" and "drawbridge". many streets St. Petersburg overlook the embankments of its rivers and canals. An inexperienced driver, especially if he is driving at high speed or at night, may lose control and fall into the water. This is what the sign warns about. Unfortunately, every year cars and trucks turn up in the Neva, Fontanka, and canals of St. Petersburg.

Sign "Drawbridge" warns both drivers and pedestrians that there is a bridge ahead that is being drawn. There are many such bridges in St. Petersburg. They are usually bred at night in order to let the ships going along the Neva pass. Unruly drivers (and sometimes pedestrians) often try to run over or cross such a bridge when it is already being drawn. In order to warn such violators, the “drawbridge” sign is installed.

Children start with preschool age. Kids need to understand how and where to cross the road correctly, where it is dangerous to move. These rules help to save life and health. Traffic signs for pedestrians and motorists were not invented by chance. It is small signs on the road that help to avoid chaos and casualties.

A bit of history

The first traffic signs that help pedestrians today appeared along with self-propelled carriages. As long as people traveled on horse-drawn carts, there were no problems. The coachman drove quite slowly and always had time to slow down. The first cars, although they were not ideal technical specifications but moved much faster. It was already impossible to do without special signs that would regulate the movement of cars and people.

The first road signs regulating the movement of pedestrians and cars appeared in Paris in 1903. These were black or blue signs that warned of a steep descent, rough road, or dangerous section. At the beginning of the 20th century, the automotive market began to develop rapidly. The same problems appeared in various countries. It was necessary to strictly regulate the traffic on the streets in order to avoid ridiculous casualties. At a conference on car traffic, which was collected in Paris in 1909, it was decided to introduce single system signs.

Signs of that time differed significantly from modern ones. With the advent of new vehicles, the traffic control system has been improved several times. Today, there are separate road signs that regulate the movement of pedestrians on the road, special signs for rail transport and cars.

What signs are used today?

Traffic signs that help pedestrians stay safe can vary in size, shape, and size. Allocate warning priorities, information signs, service signs, etc. Also on the roads you can see various informational signs. They do not affect the safety of the driver and pedestrian in any way, but they greatly simplify the movement. Often, traffic signs for pedestrians and drivers are duplicated by special markings.

All road signs are divided into 8 groups. Each of them is worth considering in more detail.

traffic warning signs

This group includes signs that notify pedestrians and drivers of a possible danger on the way. One of the most important signs is called "Traffic Light Regulation". It notifies pedestrians that the crossing or intersection is equipped with a traffic light. Pedestrians are advised to cross the road only in specially equipped places. Traffic light is a guarantee If the device is faulty, the traffic is controlled manually by a traffic control officer.

Considering traffic signs for pedestrians, one cannot help but recall the "Pedestrian Crossing". This sign is equally important for all road users. It is recommended to cross the road only in places equipped with zebra crossings. A special sign warns drivers that a pedestrian may appear on a certain section of the road. Such signs are most often installed on roads with inactive traffic. In busy areas, they still put a traffic light.

The "Crossing Bicycle Path" sign is more important for drivers. It warns that traffic on two-wheeled vehicles is organized in the immediate vicinity. The sign is installed 50 meters from bike path in populated areas. Outside the city, this distance can be increased to 200 meters. This is due to the fact that outside the city, motorists often move at an increased speed. The badge is in the form of a white triangle with a red border. A bicycle is depicted in the center.

When describing traffic warning signs for pedestrians and drivers, it is worth remembering "Roadworks". This sign informs that workers, specialized equipment, pits and potholes may appear on the way. The sign can be placed 50-100 meters from the venue repair work. Additionally, auxiliary signs may be installed on the roadway to limit the speed of vehicles.

When carrying out repair work, a sign "Gravel Ejection" may also be located on a certain section of the track. It warns pedestrians and drivers that small stones may be thrown from under the wheels of a passing car. The sign can be installed 200-300 meters before the dangerous area. It is better for pedestrians to avoid moving in such an area.

Which traffic signs help pedestrians avoid injury? These include the sign "Falling stones." Most often it is installed in highlands. The sign warns of possible landslides and collapses. Walking in such an area is quite dangerous. Motorists should also choose a more reliable road.

Priority signs

If we consider road signs that regulate the movement of pedestrians on the road, you should pay attention to the sign "Main Road". It informs that on this section of the road, priority is given to passing cars. On the main road you can usually see a lot of traffic. Therefore, to facilitate the movement of pedestrians, an additional traffic light is installed. The sign "Main Road" is installed directly in front of the intersection and is the reason for the prohibition of parking. You should also pay attention to the sign "End of the main road." It notifies the driver to give way to traffic participants with higher priority.

In small settlements, traffic lights in dangerous areas are not always installed. If the intersection is not regulated in any way, it is set special sign under the name "Intersection with a secondary road". Driving along this section of the road, the driver should slow down and be extremely careful to avoid a traffic accident. Pedestrians are advised to cross the road only in designated areas.

At intersections with the main road, a sign called "Give way" is required. Such road signs regulating the movement of pedestrians and drivers help to avoid accidents. After all, priority is given to participants who move along the main road. Those who are on the secondary should definitely give in. This rule applies to both pedestrians and motorists or cyclists.

If we consider traffic signs that help pedestrians save lives, we cannot help but recall the sign "Moving without stopping is prohibited." Such a sign can be installed before a railway crossing or at a busy intersection. The sign obliges road users to stop and make sure that there is no danger. Often, neglect of this rule leads to disastrous consequences.

prohibition signs

Considering road signs for pedestrians and cyclists, you should pay attention to the sign "Movement on bicycles is prohibited." Most often, such a sign is installed on busy highways with several lanes. Therefore, the sign may prohibit the movement of mopeds. Additionally, an icon can be installed indicating the impossibility of moving a two-wheeled vehicle in a certain direction (right or left).

There are traffic signs for pedestrians, for children, which prohibit movement along a certain section of the path. These include a sign "Pedestrian traffic is prohibited." The rule applies only to the side of the carriageway where the sign is installed. It should be located directly in the zone dangerous for pedestrians. The badge looks like a white circle with a red border. Inside, the image of a pedestrian is crossed out with a red line.

Prohibits the movement of all vehicles without exception, as well as pedestrians sign called "Danger". This sign is installed when there is a risk of fire, man-made disaster, a major traffic accident. It is this sign that was installed at the entrance to Chernobyl. The only exception can be vehicles which possess special with loud signal. The sign is installed immediately before entering the danger zone.

Mandatory signs

This category includes traffic signs for pedestrians and motorists, announcing the nature of the road. The Go Straight sign is important to drivers and prohibits turning. The sign is valid only at the intersection of the carriageways where it is installed. At the same time, turns into courtyards are not prohibited. Although this sign is aimed more at car owners, pedestrians should also pay attention to it. The plate helps to understand how traffic occurs on the road and in what places it is possible to cross the street on foot. Preference should be given to special transitions.

There are traffic signs for pedestrians (photo can be seen below), completely prohibiting the passage of any vehicle. The sign "Pedestrian path" indicates that only pedestrians can move on a certain section of the path. The sign can be installed at the beginning of the footpath and ends at the nearest intersection with the carriageway.

Everyone knows that the cause of most road traffic accidents is driver inattention, as well as high speed movement. However, on some sections of the road, low speed is also not welcome. In busy areas, you can see a sign called "Restriction minimum speed”, which prohibits movement at a speed of less than 50 km per hour. The restriction may not apply to the entire road, but only to a few lanes. At the end of the path, a sign "End of the minimum speed limit zone" may be installed. Pedestrians who follow the rules do not need to pay attention to these signs. But those who cross the road in the wrong place should know how fast cars can move.

Signs of special regulations

Like pedestrian warning signs, signs in this group inform participants about the nature of the path. This includes primarily the sign "Road with one-way traffic." There may not be a pedestrian crossing on this section of the path. However, when crossing the street, you should be extremely careful. Cars, although moving in the same direction, may not slow down. Driving on a one-way road is allowed in reverse stop on both sides of the path. However, a U-turn is prohibited here.

Considering the main road signs for pedestrians, one cannot help but recall the sign “Road for cars”. It informs that only vehicles that can reach speeds of more than 40 km per hour can move. It is strictly forbidden for pedestrians or bicycles to walk on such a road. In rare cases, motorcycles can move along the road with such a sign. Mopeds and scooters rarely reach speeds of more than 40 km per hour. Reversing may be prohibited on the way, as well as training driving.

One of the most dangerous sections of any journey is a busy motorway. It is no coincidence that a special sign is installed before its start. For pedestrians, this is a high-risk area. If there is a sign "Motorway" on the road, motorists can reach speeds of up to 100 km per hour. It is prohibited here to practice driving, reversing, as well as the movement of vehicles that cannot reach a speed of more than 40 km per hour.

Information signs

The main road signs for pedestrians and their meaning will be described below. On busy sections of the road, there must be a possibility of a safe transition. Where there is a large movement of pedestrians, a special ground or underground passage can be installed. Appropriate signs will announce this. Such crossings help to significantly save time and do not restrict traffic. It should be borne in mind that where there is a ground or underground passage, cars move at an increased speed. Therefore, it is very dangerous to cross the road without the rules.

The signs indicating preliminary direction indicators make life very easy for passengers and car owners who find themselves in a foreign city. Thanks to them, you can easily find the desired street or settlement without a navigator. Signs of this type indicate not only the direction in which you need to follow, but also how many kilometers you still have to move. Prohibition signs may also be placed here.

Information signs also include nameplates locality located on its outskirts. Such traffic signs for pedestrians with names do not affect traffic safety in any way. However, they allow you not to get lost and significantly save time.

Information includes a sign indicating a parking space. It looks like a blue square with a white "R" in the middle. blue circle with a red border, crossed out with a red line, means No Parking.

Service marks

These are traffic signs that help pedestrians (photo below). Thanks to the signs from this group, you can easily find the point of the first medical care, hospital, petrol station. Drivers come to the aid of the sign " Maintenance cars". Such a plate can be installed in front of the service station. Usually, the sign indicates how many meters it will be possible to find the desired object.

Service signs also include signs such as " Drinking water”, “Food point”, “Hotel or motel”, “Camping”, “Resting place”. All these signs do not affect road safety, but help drivers and passengers find their way faster.

Very important for drivers is the sign "Road Patrol Post". He informs the drivers that in the immediate vicinity there are traffic police officers who can provide assistance on the road. Some drivers, on the contrary, try to avoid meeting with the patrol. Therefore, when they see a similar sign, they turn onto another road.

Additional Information Signs

This group, the last one, includes signs that have the least effect on the nature of traffic. However, in some cases it is impossible to do without them. The plates are intended for drivers and pedestrians and indicate the beginning or end of the area of ​​the main sign. Additional Information allows you to find out how long it has dangerous road which vehicles are subject to restrictions, etc.

In addition, it makes it possible to understand the directions of action of the main signs. For this, white plates with black arrows under the sign are installed. The duration of the sign can also be indicated here. Some signs are relevant only on weekdays or only on weekends.

What signs do children need to know?

Starting from the age of seven or eight, children begin to move independently outside the courtyard area. Already at this age, it is necessary to know the basic rules of the road in order not to get into a dangerous situation. Special brochures are available for sale that contain road signs for pedestrians with explanations. This book is definitely worth buying.

First of all, it is necessary to tell the children about those signs and rules that relate to crossing the carriageway. These are "Pedestrian crossing", "Elevated crossing" and "Underground crossing". The child should look for a place where it is safest to cross the road. Special attention worth paying But even if the baby is well versed in the rules, you should not let him go on his own to travel through the streets with heavy traffic.

“Stopping point” is another important sign to tell your child about. This is a sign that informs about the types public transport plying on a particular street. Route numbers must be indicated on the same plates. With the help of such signs, the child can easily find the way and get to the destination.

The child must clearly understand where walking can be dangerous. Be sure to inform about the sign "Pedestrian traffic is prohibited." The rules of the road with the baby are studied in a playful way.
