Material para Hispanico Peaton y Bicyclists

Capa exterior (Outside cover):

Capa exterior, izquierda (Outside cover, left side): Diccionario (Dictionary) Paso de peatones (Crosswalk) Use siempre el paso de peatones donde los haya. Pero no asuma que los conductores pararán. Mire antes y mientras esté cruzando. (Always use the crosswalk if there is one. But don't assume that drivers will stop for you. Look before and while crossing.) Ojos (Eyes) Mire a ambos lados antes de cruzar. Haga contacto visual con los conductores para asegurarse de que le han visto. (Look both ways before you cross. Make eye contact with drivers to be sure they see you.) Capa exterior, derecha (Outside cover, right side): La fotografía muestra una calle ancha con muchos coches y un peatón caminando por la carretera dando la espalda al tráfico. No hay acera. Las líneas punteadas en la fotografía marcan la trayectoria proyectada del peatón y la trayectoria proyectada de un vehículo y demuestran donde el peatón y el vehículo chocarían en caso de accidente. Ese punto es marcado por el contorno de un cuerpo. (The photograph shows a wide suburban road with cars and a male pedestrian on the side of road with his back to traffic. There is no sidewalk. Vehicles approach him from behind. Dotted lines that arrive at a body outline indicate where the paths of a car and the pedestrian would meet if they continue on their present paths.) ¿Sabía Usted? Si no hay aceras, camine de frente al tráfico. (Did you know? If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic.)
