If there is no marked crossing, how should pedestrians cross the roadway?
Right of way
Explanation
To cross a roadway safely, pedestrians must do so **perpendicularly to the axis of the roadway**. This means they should cross in a straight line, from one side to the other, without stopping until they reach the other sidewalk. This way of crossing is the safest because it minimizes the time the pedestrian spends on the roadway, thus reducing the risk of accidents.
Crossing diagonally or stopping on the lane separation lines is not advisable, as it increases the exposure time to traffic and can confuse drivers. Additionally, crossing diagonally does not improve the visibility of the pedestrian or the drivers, which could increase the risk of accidents. Therefore, it is always better to cross perpendicularly to ensure everyone's safety.
