Why is it important to cross the road on foot? With the arrival of warmer weather, there are more bicycles and electric scooters (ESP) on the roads. Convenience of travel should not come at the expense of safety. Why is dismounting vital? Reaction speed. A bicycle moves much faster than a pedestrian. A car driver (especially a large one) may simply not have time to notice a person running into a crosswalk and brake in time. Predictability. The driver understands the pedestrian's trajectory and speed. This eliminates the risk of unexpected maneuvers. Personal control. When you walk, it's easier for you to look around and adequately assess the situation, without being distracted by maintaining balance. Take care! Cross the roadway only on foot. Those few seconds can save your life.
