In India in particular, we see lots of pedestrians using main roads.
as a car driver, one tends to think that the roads are designed for four wheelers.
in other words, two wheelers are taken as a nuisance
then imagine the case of pedestrians!
a car driver or bus or lorry driver often is blinded to these important road users.
then what precautions does one, as a pedestrian need to take to avoid being hit by these two or four or more wheelers
1. Be seen well
2. See yourself well
Be seen is the common way pedestrians use now
but what is more important is as a pedestrian see the traffic well.
This is best achieved if you walk in the right hand side of the road
where you can see the oncoming traffic
if you want a reference please refer to
rules for pedestrians for road safety
which side of the road should you walk
hope this helps
warm regards
