As it is correct to behave on the street. If you walk down the street or you go on affairs somewhere, first of all pay attention to observance of traffic regulations. Always keep to the road right and if there is no sidewalk, move towards the movement. If very much you hurry, you shouldn't part forcibly all hands, make the way so that to touch nobody. If you left to walk with girlfriends, you shouldn't go a long rank along the sidewalk, having joined hands, you will close all pass and passersby will be compelled to bypass you. Where it is possible to pass only on one, pass seniors forward. Don't forget to cross the street in those places where it is accepted. Thus don't forget to use "safety islands", the transitions designated on the sidewalk by white checkers or "zebra" or be guided by light or metal indexes "Transition". Having noticed the elderly person or the disabled person who finds it difficult to cross one the street, it is necessary to help it. Be especially careful at round of the standing transport or other obstacles and also when visibility is limited. If you noticed the familiar person, and for some reason you don't want it to welcome, will hide very uncivilizedly a look to the earth and to come over to other side the street. Also indecently, having noticed the acquaintance, to shout at all street й to swing hands. If you noticed at the person (even unfamiliar) any errors in clothes, say to him about they in low tones are the person it will be grateful. If you are stopped and asked as to pass on some street, try to explain in more detail and to help to learn from other passersby. At an entrance to shop, a drugstore at first pass leaving, and then already come.
