Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 124(3) of the General Traffic Regulations requires pedestrians to cross the roadway walking perpendicular to its axis, without delaying or stopping on it unnecessarily and without hindering the passage of others. That straight path is the shortest one between the two sides of the roadway and reduces the time of exposure to risk. The regulations do not require crossing at a run as fast as possible, and it is behavior that increases the risk of trips or falls. Nor is it mandatory to always and only use pedestrian crossings: where there is a crossing, you must cross precisely at it, not in its vicinity, but away from a crossing you may cross if you make sure you do so without risk or undue hindrance (Article 124(1) and Article 124(2)).
