Don't suppose it's your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules , so you could still get hurt.

Just as drivers aren't supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字), stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe, especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red．‎ Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. Don't suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue （发出）a ticket if you don't give drivers enough time to brake.‎ Cross quickly. Once you've followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, don't then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道) of traffic. There's no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.‎ ‎21. Who is the text intended for?‎ A. Drivers B. Cyclists C. Police D. Pedestrians ‎22.
