Safety First : Mastering Rule 77 for Crossing Busy Roads
Dismount and Push
When traffic is too heavy or fast to navigate while riding , it is often safer and easier to get off your cycle and push it across the road as a pedestrian .
Wait for a Safe Gap
Exercise patience by waiting for a clear break in traffic before crossing , a step that is particularly vital on faster roads and dual carriageways .
Use Traffic Islands
Where available , utilize central reservations or traffic islands to help stage your crossing , allowing you to deal with one direction of traffic at a time .
