If there is no sound from the vehicles or if it comes from far away, it is ready to pass.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Before descending from the pavement to the road, the cane is extended towards the road in pendulum grip. Landing directly on the road can be dangerous, so it&#8217;s a good idea to move the cane first.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> When crossing, one should not move fast enough to trip and fall, nor should one move slowly enough to allow time for the approaching vehicle from afar. Transitions must be serial.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> While crossing, the walking stick is passed using the pendulum technique.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Transitions should be straight across. Because crossovers cause the road to lengthen. The goal should be to find the opposite edge from the shortest path.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Note: This article is for support purposes only.
