If there is no designated crossing for them, what must pedestrians ensure they do before crossing the roadway?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, when there is no designated pedestrian crossing (such as a zebra crossing or traffic light), pedestrians must take responsibility for their safety and traffic flow. It is mandatory to ensure that they can cross without risk of accident and without causing undue obstruction to drivers. This involves calculating the speed and distance of approaching vehicles and crossing via the shortest possible route, perpendicular to the road axis. Crossing without looking or doing so in prohibited places like the center of roundabouts violates road safety rules.
