A pedestrian is a full participant in road traffic, which means that he must also comply with the rules of the road. But often people neglect their own safety and run across the road in the wrong places. Such carelessness can lead to serious consequences, for which pedestrians will have to be fully responsible.
Instructions
Step 1
Traffic rules clearly regulate how a pedestrian can cross the road. By the way, a fine is provided for violators of these rules. But in the modern world, where everyone is in a hurry, many cannot wait even five minutes for a traffic light to light up or walk a few meters before crossing. Although compliance with these rules guarantees the safety of life and health.
Step 2
If you need to cross an intersection that is regulated by a pedestrian traffic light, then you should wait until a green signal lights up at such a traffic light or an image of a walking man appears. Almost all modern pedestrian traffic lights show how much time is left before the red light turns on. If there are only a couple of seconds left, you do not need to run out onto the road. It may happen that you do not have time to cross the road before the moment when the traffic permitting signal for cars comes on. At this moment, someone can drive up to the intersection at speed and exit without stopping. Of course, according to the current rules, the driver must let you finish crossing the road. But there are weather conditions that limit visibility.
Step 3
If you cross an intersection, focusing on a traffic light, then you need to know some of the nuances. It is believed that you need to cross the road at a green traffic light. This means that you must cross the road with parallel moving vehicles. But it happens that the car turns and your paths cross. Therefore, when crossing the road at a traffic light without an additional section, be sure to look around. Still, it is easier for a person to stop than a car.
Step 4
In some cities, additional sections light up green at the same time as pedestrian traffic lights. In this case, the driver must let you pass. There are sections that are always green. Be careful when crossing such roads. Start walking only after making sure that the car has stopped and you are allowed to pass.
