Question

Help! in u.s, california,

please help@@@ in u.s , californiawhich way do u look first? left or right? in intersections? in crosswalks? and in railroad crossings? please help

Answer 1

In the US,traffic will  be coming from your left except for crossing one way streets which can have traffic coming from the right.

Check both directions.

Answer 2

At a regular intersection, look LEFT * RIGHT * LEFT.

(traffic coming from the left will hit you first)

At a one-way street- Look the way traffic is coming FROM  

(But look both ways -- there ARE idiots in the world!)

Answer 3

I look down to see where the curb is, so i don't trip and fall into traffic.

Answer 4

RIGHT, LEFT AND THEN RIGHT AGAIN.

Answer 5

that always confused me too... i guess the right then the left because cars come from the left  i think because if some1 is speeding then the they could be there especially if theres a turn so right then left?

Answer 6

Same rules apply  when driving. Look to the left then to the right then back to the left, when safe, proceed.

Answer 7

id look both ways personaly.... watch out

Answer 8

Check Left first, as that is where traffic is closest to you.  Then look right, then left again.  DO NOT assume that a Walk sign means you are safe.  Look for cars running the red light or turning left or right.

Simply put, a car weighs around 3000 pounds.  You may weigh 300 - probably a lot less.  A car wins every time.

Answer 9

The key thing being make sure there is no one in the way or coming into the way before advancing.

Answer 10

just go a head and take a wild guess
