Proceed with caution

Why is it that people will sit at an intersection and wait for a pedestrian to cross five lanes of roadway and hold up two or three other cars? Cars could have easily been through the intersection without interfering with said pedestrian. Some people might think waiting is being courteous. No, it is inconsiderate to other drivers as well as the pedestrian who is made feel they need to rush across the street.

According to the Ontario Driver's Handbook, drivers, including cyclists, must stop and let all pedestrians cross. Once people have cleared your side of the road you can go with caution. Do not pass any vehicle within 30 metres of a pedestrian crossing.
