Section 2:
Teaching students to recognize Situations of Uncertainty

NOTE: As of July 27, 2021, this section has been EXTENSIVELY revised!

there are Situations of Uncertainty where you cannot be certain whether or not there is a crossable gap in traffic;
there are also Situations of Confidence where you can hear/see the traffic well enough to be confident that whenever it's quiet (or you see nothing coming), it's clear to cross;
there are no simple rules for determining if you are in a Situation of Uncertainty, and the situation can change at any given crossing;
the only way to determine if you are in a Situation of Uncertainty is to observe how much warning time you have from approaching vehicles at that moment;
O&M specialists are responsible to teach their students to recognize Situations of Uncertainty and deal with them.
