passing the street

passing the street happens most of the time in pinas especially if you're really late for work or simply you're just to lazy to use the overpass or underpass. that's why a lot of accidents happen. it's the people's fault for being hardheaded...not the drivers

I do use footbridges if there is available but if there is none, then I will flag a jeep. I rather spent 8.50 than risk my life crossing busy street. Happy mylotting!!

Hi meticulo! I always used the underpass / overpass when passing a street whenever there is one. The problem I see is not all major street are equip with this kind of pedestrian tools. Most of the time you really have to cross the street on your might and ability to evade the passing car. So I think we should be extra careful in crossing the street. Always remember the golden rule of looking to your left and right before crossing the street. Most street accident involving pedestrian could be blame to lack of discipline, where people chose to cross the street the short and easy way than using the overpass / underpass or even the appropriate pedestrian lane.

Hi there meticulo! I am a law-abiding citizen. I have never been caught jaywalking and I would never be caught doing such. I always use the pedestrian lane. If required, I would use foot bridges and the overpass. In some cases, the underpass. I too am a driver and I find it annoying when people just cross the street even if the green light is on. It is risky crossing the streets with all those vehicles passing by.

i am really afraid in crossing the streets. im not used to it, so i will always use the overpass. crossing the streets is one of the reason i would get late to school. hehe, silly me. cheers!!

that depends on your mind set and your attitude. if you are a conscious minded person specially on safety then you should be using the those structures provided because it has a purpose why it has to be there. don't gamble your single life with, "i thought" and "what if", this often times leads into something not good. then your attitude should comes next. no matter what and how sophisticated all those safety gadgets around you but if you attitude is to violate and like to do the short way then everything is just useless. and you won't be able to appreciate it's existence until something would happen. just like the phrase that i always use.. "if you think safety is expensive... try injury.!!"

I always use the overpass, footbridge and underpass. It's the proper way to cross the street unless there's a pedestrian lane crossing.

hi meticulo. i usually use foot bridges and overpass. its safer. BUT usually foot bridges and overpasses have little if none lights. so usually at night, pedestrians are afraid to use it because there might be hold uppers. maybe authorities will do something to put some lights so people can use it even at night. take care

Well I for one don't really pass the street that much I am scared of crossing the street especially when I am alone. I don't know how to cross a street. No one ever taught me how. I only pass the street when I am with my friends and we are going out. We always use the long stairs cause it is more safe for us. Its better to be safe then try a simple path and die.
