Populated areas with dense traffic, pedestrians, and bicycles are among the most dangerous and most likely places for accidents to occur.
Traffic
This is a result of population or traffic pressure, and therefore we will discuss the risks and how to avoid them
By focusing on important points when driving in populated or residential areas.
The most dangerous points are in the city center and crowded places
And on bus stops, pedestrian and bicycle paths and crossings, and intersections.
I will mention to you the dangerous situations that you must focus on while driving
You should be aware that you may get a question about it in the theoretical exam.
First case:
فIn the picture shown above, there is more than one dangerous and numbered point that must be focused on, and they are as follows:
- The cyclist can turn left in front of you or continue forward
- Pedestrians, people running, or bicycles can come from the left, and as it appears, you cannot see the road
- The door of a car parked on the side of the road may open, or children may come running from among the cars
- There are pedestrians on the opposite side and there may be children in the area
- As in case No. 2, pedestrians, people running, or bicycles may come from the left side, where you cannot see the road.
Of course, new drivers forget and do not pay attention to these points, and they must pay close attention when they pass similar places
See the following picture:
When you want to turn right or left, you must first think about bicycles, runners, and pedestrians coming from behind, and you must look at the dead corner.
You should turn your whole head to shoulder level and look out the back window of your car
To see the hidden point or that you cannot see in the side mirror, you will turn towards point 1 on the road
There is a pedestrian crossing and a bicycle crossing at point No. 2 on the road, and here lies the danger coming from behind
Anticipate danger before it occurs to avoid it
If you are driving your car on the road near a pedestrian crossing and you see a bicycle or pedestrian on your right or left
Close to the crossing, in this case you should expect that the bike can turn and come to the crossing
Or pedestrians may cross the road suddenly, and to avoid any danger, you must adapt your speed according to the road situation
Until you cross the crossing and the danger safely, and as in the following picture, we find a bicycle on the right marked with a red arrow
It moves naturally forward, but we cannot predict the things that people will do
We must act in a defensive manner that protects us and others in traffic and in the following situation
The speed must be reduced so that if the cyclist wants to turn, we are far away from him or stop at the appropriate time
Suddenly the bike driver changed his lane!
When you drive a car inside populated areas and at intersections and roundabouts, you will find many pedestrian crossings
You must be careful and pay attention when you exit the roundabout, as there may be pedestrians or bicycles crossing the road.
When you see a bus stopping at its designated stop, especially in the centrum
You have to be very careful if you want to overtake it, as sometimes pedestrians are in a hurry
They quickly jump in front of the bus to cross the street, and if you overtake the bus, you will collide with them
When overtaking a bus, you must slow down, be more careful and attentive, and be prepared to brake.
What are the cases in which priority should be given to the bus to exit the parking lot?
If the speed is 50 or less, priority is given to the bus
If the speed is more than 70 km per hour, the bus must give priority
Always pay attention and be careful when passing the bus so that there are no pedestrians coming in front of it quickly.
You have priority and the bus should give you priority since the speed on the street is more than 50 km per hour.
Priority is given to the bus, and you must give priority to the bus as the speed on the street is 50 km per hour.
When you see this sign placed in the center and crowded places, you must move at pedestrian speed, with extreme caution, and give priority to pedestrians on the road.
The sign means that you have entered a populated area and the maximum speed is 50 km on the road unless otherwise indicated by another traffic sign.
When you see this sign, you can drive into the area for some reason, for example, to deliver a person or load and unload goods, but at a slow speed
You are not allowed to pass the sign when you see it, as it means that the road or place is designated for pedestrians only and cars are not allowed to enter here.
