The risk that a vehicle which is undetected when the crossing was started will reach the
crosswalk before crossing is completed
Technique for crossing at an uncontrolled crossing using visual strategies - (ANSWER)1.
Visually see if there are cars coming and go when no traffic is present that is close enough to
reach the crosswalk before completing the crossing
2. Cross when you see a vehicle in the nearest parallel lane on the parallel street is just entering
the intersection
Technique for crossing at an uncontrolled crossing using auditory strategies - (ANSWER)1.
Listening for when they do not hear any cars and cross when it is clear.
3. Listening to hear when a vehicle in the nearest lane on the parallel street is just entering the
intersection
Technique for crossing at a stop sign controlled crossing using visual strategies - (ANSWER)1.
When you don't see traffic or cars at the stop sign
2. When you see that the cars are stopped at the stop sign
3. When you see the protective lane move
Technique for crossing at a stop sign controlled crossing with auditory strategies - (ANSWER)1.
Listening for no cars at the stop sign and go when it is all clear
2. Listening for when the protective lane starts moving and gets in the middle of the crossing
Technique for crossing at a signal controlled crossing using visual strategies - (ANSWER)1.
Using pedestrian pushbutton
,3. Street crossing with the surge of parallel traffic, recommended when dealing with designated
left turn lane
3. Look at the traffic signal for the perpendicular street to determine the color of the signal of the
parallel traffic
Technique for crossing at a signal controlled crossing using auditory strategies - (ANSWER)1.
Crossing clockwise and counterclockwise
2. Using aps when available and appropriate
3. Near lane parallel through traffic for dealing with left turn arrow and for complex signal
4. Crossing with surge of parallel traffic
Define a situation of uncertainty - (ANSWER)A situation of uncertainty is for a gap of judgment
because of undetected vehicles may be just a few seconds away
Pedestrian button in the timing of street crossing - (ANSWER)The signal notifies the pedestrian
of the onset and duration of the walk signal that is the timing during which pedestrian may

only that the walk sign is on not that it is safe to cross
What strategies should be used when teaching a learner to use APS - (ANSWER)1. Approach the
intersection and stop at the curv, maintaining initial alignment, check alignment by listening to
traffic
2. Determine the starting location for crossing and identify tactile cues to realign after pressing
the pushbutton
What strategies should be used when teaching a learner to use APS continued 1 - (ANSWER)3.
Listen and evaluate the intersection, determine the traffic pattern and intersection geometry
4. Leave the curb search for a APS using systematic pattern, starting by making a 180 degree
turn and looking on the side of the curb
,What strategies should be used when teaching a learner to use APS continued 2 - (ANSWER)5.
Once located, explore the device and it's functioning, including if there is a tactile arrow and
confirm it is pointing the direction you want to cross
6. stand at the pushbutton and while maintaining awareness of crossing location, listen to traffic
and the APS for a full cycle to make sure that the sidewalk corresponds with the information
What strategies should be used when teaching a learner to use APS continued 3 - (ANSWER)7.
Press the button at the beginning of the perpendicular surge and return to the spot
8. When the walk indicator is hears confirm with traffic sounds and cross
Identify and describe a tactile method of alignment at street crossings - (ANSWER)1. Alignment
with grass line- traveler locates the grass-line farthest from the parallel street and sidestep to it,
traveler uses the foot to establish a parallel direction with grass-line the rest of the body is then
positioned according
Perpendicular alignment with curb - (ANSWER)Traveler has prior knowledge of the curb, the
toes are extended over the curb in order to feel the curb edge under foot, having established
perpendicular alignment, the traveler projects this into space
Maintaining alignment - (ANSWER)Traveler acquires a straight line and continues this line to
the curb, the traveler mentally projects this line across the street
Identify and describe an auditory method of alignment at a street crossing - (ANSWER)1.
Parallel alignment requires tracking individual cars into the distance and aligning the body
correctly
2. Perpendicular alignment requires the traveler to square his shoulder to the traffic at its farthest
point
When should an instructor be positioned while on the corner before initiating the crossing -
(ANSWER)At the point where they can see both the incoming traffic and the traveler
In the beginning they should be close enough to stop the traveler (no more than 5 feet)
