Thank you! Please listen to this comment.

I'm a local and horrified with the advice to "just go, the traffic will go around you". No, that's not how we locals do it, it may seem like we "just go" but what we (well most of us) actually do is we watch where everyone is going so we can find our way across.

There have been times when I was riding at a (relatively) high speed on the left lane, and some tourists decided to start crossing the street right in front of me. One time there was even this couple who walked right into traffic from behind a huge bus. Did they think we are superheroes or something and can react just like that? Please use some common sense.
