　　If you only need to travel a short distance, the quickest way to travel in most cities is on foot. During working hours, between approximately 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, the traffic is very heavy on most city streets, sometimes coming to a complete stop in places. As a result, many people prefer to walk. You should therefore be aware of some of the traffic laws. It is against the law in many cities to cross the street at any place except at the corner. You should not cross the street unless there is a green traffic light facing the direction you plan to cross. In small towns, these rules may not be followed as closely, because the traffic is usually not so heavy. However, the purpose of the laws is to provide for the safety and protection of the people. Remember to look both ways for automobiles when you cross the street.
