• AEncourage them to walk facing oncoming traffic
• BDiscourage and reroute to safer crossings if possible
• CEncourage them to walk in the road
• DSkip the stop

Study technique for this topic

Know the dimensions of the front, side, and rear danger zones, the proper eight-light activation sequence, and the emergency evacuation procedure including front-door, rear-door, and split evacuations.
