Houdini
He thinks he can get
out of any knotty
problem. You’ll find
him in the middle of
the traffic, squeezing
himself between cars
to escape to the other
side.
DIFFERENT FACES OF A PEDESTRIAN
Talking Machine
He carries his
conversation onto the
road even while
crossing. His is a one
track mind and it is
not on the traffic. Use
your horn and give
him plenty of room.
DIFFERENT FACES OF A PEDESTRIAN
The Spook
He makes his rounds at
night and he’s just
beyond your headlights.
If you want to have
ghost of a chance with
him you should be able
to stop
DIFFERENT FACES OF A PEDESTRIAN
The Genie
Pass a stationary or a slow
moving vehicle and he will
spring out at you before either
of you can see each other.
Sometimes he is a small boy in
a hurry to get across. Sometime
he is an office worker stepping
out from behind a bus. Slow
down when passing stationary
or slow-moving vehicles.
DIFFERENT FACES OF A PEDESTRIAN
The Band of Merry
The biggest problem on the
road can be ‘little ones’
romping on the road, chasing
a kite or running on the road
to retrieve a ball with total
unconcern for you or your
vehicle. Slow down, when
ever you see them, and give
them room.
