Check your side mirrors, and check your blind spot over your shoulders for bikes. That's a habit drivers ought to have for their own safety, but for cyclists and pedestrians, it can save a life.

A stopped car may be a clue that a pedestrian is crossing. Don't pass until you know what is going on. In fact, it is not only unsafe but also illegal in Oregon to pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk for a pedestrian.

Lawmakers heard feedback from motorists that the full-lane requirement sometimes prevented drivers from making turns at busy signalized intersections. The 6-foot buffer is intended to give pedestrians space for a safe crossing without forcing a motorist to wait until the person crosses an entire two-lane street, for example.

Habits are the shorthand of behavior.
