There are only 3 reliable strategies for crossing streets with no traffic control:

Cross:
• during a "crossable gap in traffic" (explained on the next page);
• when vehicles in all lanes approaching the crossing have stopped (yielded) for you;
• trusting that all drivers who might be approaching will yield for you.
  
  NOTE: The strategy of crossing with a vehicle from the stop sign beside you is NOT RELIABLE and actually risky, as explained later.
  

The primary focus of this Self-Study Guide is crossable gaps in traffic, especially:
• figuring out when there is a crossable gap in traffic, and
• recognizing Situations of Uncertainty where it is not possible to figure out when there is a crossable gap in traffic.
