The Law: Cars must stop for pedestrians at crosswalks.
The Reality: THEY DON’T.
Survival Guide:
-
Never assume a car will stop just because you are on the white stripes.
-
Make eye contact with the driver.
-
Wait for a gap in traffic.
-
Cross with a group of locals (use them as human shields!).
-
Green Man: Even if the pedestrian light is green, look left and right for turning cars.
