Cross now because you are at the crossing: The crossing does not make the car stop. Stay back and check what traffic actually does.

Wait until it is clear the car has stopped and the crossing is safe: Good awareness: you used the crossing and checked the real traffic situation before moving.

Run across before the car arrives: Speed is not a safety plan. Wait for a safe opportunity instead.

Step out quickly to see around it: Stepping into the road before you can see traffic removes your safe stopping place.

Find a clearer place where you and drivers can see each other: Exactly. Clear sight lines help you notice traffic and help drivers notice you.

Stay there and cross if you cannot hear anything: Listening helps, but it cannot replace a clear view. Move to a more visible place.

Step out immediately—the signal is enough: Follow the signal, but also check the traffic. A permitted turn is not the same as a guaranteed safe moment.

Wait, observe, and cross only after traffic has stopped: That combines knowledge with awareness: follow the signal and verify the road is safe.

Ignore the pedestrian signal and copy another person: Use the pedestrian signal and your own careful check—not someone else's decision.

The buzzing phone

A message arrives just before you cross. Where should your attention go?

Read and answer while crossing: Crossing needs your eyes and attention. The message can wait.

Put the phone away, then stop, look, listen and think: Phone down. Head up. You kept your attention available for traffic.

Take one quick glance, then run: A rushed check is not the routine. Pause in a safe place and give traffic your full attention.
