Crossing Safely Between Parked Cars

Parked vehicles. If you have to cross between parked vehicles, use the outside edges of the vehicles as if they were the kerb. Stop there and make sure you can see all around and that the traffic can see you. Make sure there is a gap between any parked vehicles on the other side, so you can reach the pavement. Never cross the road in front of, or behind, any vehicle with its engine running, especially a large vehicle, as the driver may not be able to see you.

💡Example

When crossing between parked cars, treat the outer edges like the kerb, ensuring you can see traffic and be seen. For example, if you're in a busy street and need to cross, pause at the edge of the parked cars, check for oncoming vehicles, and make sure there's a clear path to the other side before proceeding.
