Safe behaviour

The SPVM asks you to adopt safe behaviours - not only for your own sake, but for the safety of others as well.

A pedestrian should:

cross at an intersection, or at the closest pedestrian crossing;
avoid crossing between two intersections. If you must cross, yield the way to drivers, and ensure you are able to cross without risk;
respect pedestrian signs installed at intersections. If there are none, respect the traffic lights;
before entering a pedestrian crossing not regulated by traffic lights, make sure you can cross it without risk;
if out in the evening or at night, wear reflective clothing in order to be seen clearly.

Before crossing an intersection, always make sure that drivers see you well, ideally by establishing eye contact with them. Never take it for granted that they have seen you!
