In India, vehicles are driven on the left side of the road, same as in the UK, while in Canada, vehicles are driven on the right side of the road. Now, in India, when crossing any road with 2-way traffic, you look to your right and then rush to the middle of the road if the lane is empty, then look to the left and run as fast as possible to the other side – pretty simple really. Now in Canada, as a pedestrian, my greatest psychological challenge is to overcome this subconscious tendency to look to my right when crossing the road – here, you need to do it the other way round, as in look to the left first, cross to the middle of the road, then look to the right and cross again. I hope I can get it sorted out before some vehicle knocks me down :hmmm:
Crossing the road and looking the wrong way!
hey Nish, use the side walk and walk signal! 😉
lol Nish. Welcome to Canada once again :).
Thanks Sonu 🙂
Did you adjust to looking at the right rearview mirror? 🙂
Gawd,why did the make seperate road-formalities in different countries!
Hey Nish… here in the US they teach us at a young age to look both ways before you cross.
:p
in india you need to look all the directions.
otherwise 11 out of 10 times you will certainly be run over
