Pedestrian on roads: Being cautious is the key to safety || Cyberabad Traffic Police

Dangers of Jaywalking :Jaywalking is particularly dangerous because in a collision between a vehicle of any size and a pedestrian, the person is likely to receive very serious injuries. That is why it is so important that pedestrians do what they can to reduce the risk of accidents and avoid jaywalking whenever possible. If crosswalks are not available, pedestrians should cross at intersections, and should cross streets when permitted to do so by traffic lights. Never step out into traffic, and minimize distractions like cell phones and headphones. Wear light colored or reflective clothing if you are walking, jogging or running in low light conditions, and always be sure to look both ways before crossing any street or road.

(2) If traffic has come to a standstill, the driver shall not drive the vehicle on the pedestrian crossing if he is
unlikely to be able to move further and thereby block the pedestrian crossing.
