FLOW CHART FOR ADDRESSING UNCONTROLLED CROSSINGS

Student should be able to JUDGE situations

Is it a "Situation of Uncertainty"? or a "Situation of Confidence"?
(train student to recognize Situations of Uncertainty)


• SITUATION of UNCERTAINTY:
  • ANALYZE RISK
    
    • Risk is acceptable? -- cross when it SEEMS clear (reduce risks as much as possible)
    • Risk is NOT acceptable? -- DO NOT CROSS, use ALTERNATIVES
      
      
• SITUATION of CONFIDENCE:
  • CROSS with a crossable gap . . .
    
    1. Cross when clear OR . . .
    2. Cross when the gap in traffic is long enough
        (Train student with practice Determining Gaps in Approaching Traffic)
    
    Either way, if using vision, student must do it by glancing.
