About this word search

A Pelican crossing has traffic lights operated by pedestrians, and the name comes from pedestrian light controlled. The Green man is the signal that it is safe to cross.

Kerb is the British spelling, and a Dual carriageway is a road with a central reservation separating the two directions of traffic. Older pupils about to walk to secondary school alone can use the list to talk through a safe route.

Dual carriageway and Pelican crossing are the longest anchors in an eighteen-square grid where every direction is used. The V in Diversion and the K in Kerb help.
