[COLOR=“Purple”]I’ll do it on residential streets but not on a busy street with FAST traffic. As for cars turning right especially, I make sure they not only see me but stop like they should. Just cause they make eye contact doesn’t mean they’ll yield! I also have to watch out for people making left turns.
They are just watching oncoming traffic not pedestrians. So I’ve gotten nearly run over by people making turns. U-turns also. I even had a ***** honk at me because apparently I was walking too slow for her.
