    Answer: Don't. You live on this side of the street now.

      Nah, don't worry, you just walk in with consistent speed, and a motorcycle forcefield with generate around you. Don't look at riders. And best of all: don't suddenly change speed or stop, so the forcefield won't break ;)

    It's actually pretty safe to cross the road since people aren't driving 90 km/h like in America or Canada. If you're in the way they'll just beep at you, Beeping or honking a horn is a way to tell others where you are.

      they don't drive at 90km/h in the middle of cities in America. Have you even been in a foreign country?

      Well... so you don't see the person crossing the street in Vietnam with not paying attention... then the motor bike hit her... she fell to the ground... and not luck for her, one truck coming right at that moment... rolling over her head.
      Sad story...

      Because it was crowded, if I remembered correctly the old granny in my neighborhood was run over at 5am or something, it happened at Quận 12 HCM city, and a lot of small accidents happened near where I live too

    In Hanoi and Saigon I was advised to cross the street without looking at oncoming traffic. Il you look at them they might think you will dodge them, so you best leave it to them to go around you. Just walk at your own pace when the traffic eases up a little, they're not going fast so they'll maneuver around.
    I remember my mother telling me once in Saigon she went round and round a single block because she couldn't find anywhere she would dare to cross. Had to resort to the tourist police stopping traffic and helping her get through

      Having stayed there, it's not that bad. You literally just walk. The scooters pass around you somewhat. That being said, it's not practical and really dumb that they don't stop for people at pedestrian crossings

      Experience here is cross slow. Don't run, don't make sudden things. And the important: pay attention 3 side front-right-left, so... don't go backward.
      The last you can praying for your life.
