Seatbelts keep passengers securely in their seats during sudden stops.
2. What bridge or tunnel structure allows pedestrians to cross safely over or under a busy railway line or highway: a footbridge (or underpass) or a slipway?
Footbridge (or underpass)
A footbridge or underpass separates people walking from fast-moving traffic.
3. What safety equipment protects a cyclist’s head when riding a bicycle: a cycle helmet or a sun umbrella?
Cycle helmet
A cycle helmet absorbs impact to protect the head.
4. Why are giant container ships used to transport goods like grain, clothing and electronics across oceans: one ship can carry thousands of containers efficiently over long sea routes, or ships fly over mountains?
One ship can carry thousands of containers efficiently over long sea routes
Maritime container shipping has the lowest energy use per tonne-kilometre for bulk ocean trade.
5. Does a helicopter travel on land, on water, or in the air?
In the air
A helicopter uses spinning overhead rotor blades to fly in the air.
6. What do we call buses, trams, ferries and trains that anyone in the community can ride together along shared routes: public transport or private aircraft?
Public transport
Public transport moves many passengers together, reducing road traffic and fuel use per person.
7. At a pedestrian crossing, what are the black-and-white stripes painted across the road called: a zebra crossing or a runway?
Zebra crossing
A zebra crossing gives pedestrians a marked place to cross the street safely.
8. How does a sailboat move across the water without using a fuel engine: the wind pushes against its sails, or horses pull it?
The wind pushes against its sails
Sails capture wind energy to propel a sailboat across the water.
9. Which vehicle runs on two parallel steel rails and pulls carriages between stations: a train or a lorry?
Train
Trains run along railway tracks to carry hundreds of passengers or heavy freight.
10. Which emergency road vehicle has flashing lights and a siren to carry paramedics and patients quickly to hospital: an ambulance or a tractor?
Ambulance
Ambulances provide urgent medical transport to hospitals.
11. At a traffic light, what colour light tells drivers to come to a complete STOP: red or green?
Red
Red means stop; amber means prepare to stop; green means proceed with caution if the way is clear.
12. What is a sheltered area of water where boats and ships dock safely to load passengers and cargo: a harbour (or port) or a hangar?
Harbour (or port)
Harbours and ports protect moored vessels from open-ocean waves.
