1.5.9. Crossing Roads
WARNING
● You cannot cross a road where pedestrians are prohibited from crossing.
● When crossing at an unfamiliar location, have an assistant accompany you.
● If the residual capacity of the battery is low, the
wheelchair may stall while crossing a street.
Check the residual capacity of the battery
before crossing.
● Before crossing a road, be sure to check to the left and right for safety.
● Do not cross a road if it is dangerous to do so, such as if an automobile is approaching.
● When crossing a road, proceed as close as possible at a right angle to the road. Do not
cross the road diagonally.
● Cross a road at a location where there is a traffic light or crosswalk.
● When crossing a street at a crosswalk with no traffic light, pay sufficient attention to the
traffic.
● If there is a pedestrian signal light, obey the signal light. If the signal light is flashing green
or is red, you must not start to cross the road.
● If the street is wide, the signal may change before you finish crossing. In such places, wait
for the next green light to give yourself enough time to cross the street.
● At intersections where there are no traffic lights or crosswalks, stop in the following three
stages.
1. Stop before entering the road.
2. Stop where you can be seen by automobiles.
3. Stop where you have a good view of the road.
