How to Cross a Road in India

Crossing a road in India, especially in cities, might be an extremely difficult and sometimes dangerous task. Traffic rules there can be different, and roads are very congested. And for foreigners, this might just turn out to be a real headache everyday, if they happen to stay in India for a few weeks/months.

  1. 1
    Try to cross the road with other locals who cross the road at the same time.
    • Make eye contact with the driver who is nearing you, so that he/she moves away for sure.

    • If you are hit by an inattentive driver, remember that passers-by will be on your side and will help you.

    • Again, the most important thing is not to panic.

    • Don't forget, cars are coming from the right! If you live in a country where you drive on the right line, you'll need some time to get used to it. Remember, look on your right before you cross... not on your left.

    • If you are afraid of crossing by yourself, follow another person.
    • Consider taking a vehicle if you are scared to walk. Taxis and automatic rickshaws are available.
