A pedestrian is a full-fledged participant in road traffic, which means that he must also follow the rules of the road. But often people neglect their own safety and cross the road in the wrong places. Such carelessness can lead to dire consequences, for which pedestrians will have to be fully responsible.

Traffic rules clearly regulate how exactly a pedestrian can cross the road. By the way, there is a fine for violators of these rules. But in the modern world, where everyone is in a hurry, many cannot wait even five minutes for the traffic light to go on or go a few meters before the transition. Although compliance with these rules guarantees the preservation of life and health.

If you need to cross the intersection, which 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 comes on. If only a couple of seconds remain, you do not need to run out onto the roadway. It may happen that you do not have time to cross the road until the moment when the traffic permit signal for cars lights up. At this moment, someone can drive up to the intersection at speed and leave it without stopping. Of course, according to the current rules, the driver must let you finish the road crossing. But there are weather conditions that limit visibility.

If you cross the intersection, focusing on a traffic light, then you need to know some nuances. It is believed that you need to cross the road on a green traffic light. So, you must cross the road with parallel moving vehicles. But it happens that the car turns, and your paths intersect. Therefore, when crossing the road at a traffic light without an additional section, be sure to look around. Still, it’s easier for a person to stop than a car.

In some cities, additional sections light up green simultaneously with a pedestrian traffic light. In this case, the driver must skip you. There are sections that are always green. Crossing such roads, be careful. Start walking only after making sure that the car has stopped and they let you in.
