As for safety, always look left and right when you cross, just like how your were probably taught as a child, really . Because of today's rise of mostly silent electric vehicles, and because of drivers distracted by phones sometimes, you should not cross "by hear", if it ever was a good idea (I used to do that), even if you have the green light . Be extra cautious if a large truck or bus blocks your view. Remove your…
