Often we hear or see the appeal for respect for pedestrians. This happens because there are many motorists who do not respect the rights of pedestrians. For example, the crossing or parking on sidewalks. In order to create a sense of mutual respect among road users, here we provide driving guidance that respects the rights of pedestrians.

First, when driving in the slow lane at the left (closest to the sidewalk) should not be too close to the sidewalk. Leave a space of less than 70 inches for pedestrians or motorists can pass through the left side of the car. This gap is also useful to avoid hit motorcycle car through the far left lane.

Second, if forced to park the car at the curb, you should not obstruct the sidewalk because it would interfere or impede pedestrian traffic passing by on the sidewalk.

Third, when a car speeding down the road there is a zebra crossing, reduce speed and be more alert to the defector. As riders, we have Extra caution when crossing the zebra crossing, especially if the cross is the children, the elderly or visually impaired.

Fourth, do not carelessly honking. Pedestrians are the party who heard the loudest horn for horn sound directly into their ears. So, sound the horn at the right time, to remind or inform the existence of our cars to other road users, including pedestrians. In addition, use of standard horn sounds, and do not be too strange to be modified to resemble a horn or horns of animals.

Fifth, when a car crossing a puddle of water on the road, reduce the speed of your vehicle. Do not raced at high speed so that splashing water on the people around, including pedestrians.

If we keep doing the things above, of course, the relationship between pedestrians and cars will be well maintained.
