you can see why Russia lost Afghanistan.

If those were Russians in your video, there would be 6 accidents before the guy crossed the street.
Doesn't matter that the traffic is one way, there would STILL be 6 accidents.

The trick is to keep a constant pace, with no unexpected moves, and traffic simply flows around you.
