→ Follows logically, as it talks about following traffic signals.
R: "If there are no signal lights at the crossing, we should look to the right, then to the left and again to the right before crossing the road."
→ Makes sense after Q, covering what to do when there are no lights.
P: "We should always cross the road at the zebra crossing."
→ Adds a specific guideline for safe crossing.
S: "If the road is not clear we should wait."
→ Concludes the sequence with a precautionary action.
S6: "We should never run while crossing a road."
→ Wraps up the idea with a general rule.
