you have to dance around in a circle and hop on one foot all the way across the other side of the road.
- Approach the crossing on the sidewalk. Don't walk in the road.
- Set foot on the crossing. This signals drivers that you want to cross the road. At this point, drivers must stop, unless they are so close to the crossing that they can't do so safely.
- Look both ways, then walk normally across the road, staying on the stripes.
- Don't run, dawdle or stop. Don't change your mind halfway and go back.
- .
- If the crossing is controlled by lights, obey them. If you don't you risk being fined for jay-walking. You also risk being injured by a car, then sued by the driver's insurance co. for damage to the car (if you survived).
