Intersections

Turning traffic has an impact on pedestrian travel. Motorists who are turning left have their concentration focused on the oncoming traffic. They while concentrating on identifying a suitable gap in automobile traffic traveling on a perpendicular path, often pull into the pedestrian crossing area. 

Summing up the whole world we have different names for pedestrian crossings: Zebra, Pelican, Puffin, Toucan & Pegasus.

·         Zebra crossings are named after their stripes & are used in many parts of the world.

·         The word Puffin comes from Pedestrian User Friendly Intelligence (making the buttons available beside you!)

·         The word Pelican comes from Pedestrian Light Control(You ‘control’ the button for the ‘green man’ from the other side of the road)

·         The word Toucan based on the idea that two can cross –  these are joint for pedestrian and cycle crossings.

·         The word Pegasus crossing is a special consideration for people on horseback.

Putting all the crossings in a bag making it a mixed bag. Let us pull threads on the art of walking.

Choose a place where there is a space between two cars, making it easier to reach the other side of the road.  A hidden message for all when split between varied streams should always be able to find space between each by making it a To & Fro move.

Make sure a stationary vehicle is true to its core by observing for driver, lights & d silence of the engine playing to its best. With presence of our mind our sight has equal weight. Use it to your best not only to see superficially but deeply.

Never to cross blindfold near large vehicles. You could be standing in a blind spot, where the driver cannot see you. When mentally you have already fed yourself that the given situation is bigger than you make sure your visibility is not diminished to the same. Sometimes your acting skills is not only a veil for others, but for you also in making you believe that you can envision more than you see. 

Walking to the outside edge of the cars circumferencing and halting to the sight of drivers or vehicles. Make your journey worthwhile give time on your stoppages. Appreciate from where you started till where you have reached. When we are passionately involved with our Goals, we forget to appreciate ourselves how far have we reached. As we tie our success only to our Goals fail to acknowledge the others.

Use the Green Color-Cross Code. Make sure you find a green lining in all you do, the expression “golden lining” stands nullified. If your eyes fail to see green than it must be STOP.
