New Yorkers like to walk fast. So much so that there is a line painted on 5th avenue like this:

Walking fast is only one of the characteristic things New Yorkers do. Another one is to know when to cross the street, which leads me to today’s bit of NYC knowledge. You could either A) Cross the street when no cars are coming (AKA Jaywalking), or B) Walk across the street when the crosswalk light tells you to. 

While option A is the most common case with New Yorkers, option B is something every New Yorker should know how to do. If you’re ever a tourist in NYC, you’ll know who the New Yorkers are because they know when the crosswalk light is going to tell them when to cross to street. Basically when the light to the street you’re going to cross turns RED, you should know that crosswalk light is going to show little white man walking a second later. Easy enough, huh?

You’ll be the one being watched by tourists if you know how to cross the street correctly. Kudos to you!

you can’t see the stain of the pop I just spilled.

Woops!
