Three words. Walk. Don’t Walk. Sounds so simple. Yet day after day at intersections around the globe these three little words baffle dozens of people. So, to help you maneuver with manners as a courtesy to your fellow pedestrians and to the drivers:
WALK
This signal indicates it is safe for you to cross the street. So, go ahead, Walk.
DON’T WALK
Ah, just the addition of the word “Don’t” seems to be where common sense takes a hike. You might think the addition of the countdown timer telling you EXACTLY how long before the light will change would help. Alas. With just 3 seconds to go, seemingly average people break into sprint hoping they can cross 6 lanes of traffic is said 3 seconds. Sorry, you can’t make it. No, really. You can’t.
When you walk out of sequence, cars can’t make their right turn or left turn and traffic backs up and your lack of courtesy has a direct impact on others. Civility makes sense.
So, Walk. Don’t Walk. Got it?
