Crossing Safely Between Parked Vehicles
CRITICAL SAFETY WARNINGS
THE SAFE CROSSING SEQUENCE
Use the " Virtual Kerb "
When crossing between parked cars , walk to the outside edges of the vehicles and treat that line as if it were the actual kerb .
Check for Running Engines
Never cross the road in front of or behind any vehicle that has its engine running .
Establish Visibility
Stop at the edge of the vehicles to ensure you can see all around and , crucially , that oncoming traffic can see you .
Verify the Exit Gap
Before crossing , make sure there is a clear gap between parked vehicles on the opposite side so you can safely reach the pavement .
Beware of Large Vehicle Blind Spots
Drivers of large vehicles often cannot see pedestrians directly behind or in front of them ; avoid these areas entirely if the engine is on .
