Andy,

 

Do you look both ways when crossing a one way street?

Yes always. People round here cant be trusted. Many times i see people driving down the wrong way around where i live. Also i almost killed a cyclist or rather he almost killed himself, going wrong way down a one way road heading for the side of my car.

Me too. I also wait until the traffic has stopped before I cross the road at a Pedestrian Controlled Crossing.

I write good code, of course I look both ways on a one way street!

Very sensible, Andrew, and Yep, me too. I'm pretty wary even about walking along a pavement - I look behind at intervals, as vehicles have been known to mount pavements.

It doesn't help that I can only hear through one ear (and that needs a powerful hearing aid) so I never know where traffic noise is coming from. So I look around and keep what wits I have left alert and about me. My main ambition is to keep drawing my pensions !

I once believed that I took a good look both ways ("good" as in "effective") but my first visit to one of the Virgin Islands where they drive on the "wrong" side of the road convinced me otherwise after I'd nearly been hit by an auto when I crossed the street.

 

I may have looked both ways but I only really paid attention to what I considered the direction from which traffic should have been coming. It happened there almost every visit to that island and also happened on my one visit to the UK.

I have the same issue in France Newt.

some pedestrians using zebra crossings make me shiver. Without bothering to gain eye contact with the driver they step off and keep going. The one ones I refer to are either pushing a pram, on the fone.

 

Or on the fone.
