Now let's get (walk?) off the pavement and cross the road at (on?with?) the zebra crossings; let's get (walk) onto the pavement again

Thanks for your help. Do the sentences sound natural? Would a native speaker mom talk like this?

It's very wordy so I can't imagine a native speaker saying it. Generally, zebra crossings lead from one pavement, across a road, to another pavement so there is no need to be so specific. I imagine a parent would say something like "We need to cross [the road] at the zebra crossing".
