Although it is the drivers who must exercise extreme caution and be aware that they carry a dangerous machine in their hands, pedestrians also have their share of responsibility for road safety. And they don't always comply. The number of pedestrians crossing through inappropriate places or crossing when the traffic lights are red is alarming, and despite this, the penalties imposed by the councils on pedestrians are anecdotal. The fines are so exceptional that many times passers-by themselves are unaware that their conduct can be penalized. However, it is so. The Traffic Law, whose last update was approved just a few months ago, includes not only the traffic regulations that drivers must respect but also those that those who travel on foot must follow, as well as the sanctions that will punish those who do not comply.
