Is it safe for pedestrians to cross the road from the intersection?

Not particularly safe, but safe enough.

Personally, I rank the safety of crossing the road as follows:

Crossing tunnels > overpasses > crosswalks with traffic lights > crosswalks with traffic lights > crossing the road directly without traffic lights >? No traffic lights, zebra crossing? & gt climb the guardrail and cross the road.

(only consider the influence of vehicles, not consider non-traffic safety issues such as late robbery. )

Crossing the street tunnel >? The reason for overpass is that the design standard of overpass is usually much worse than that of overpass tunnel. There are also temporary overpasses, which may collapse when encountering potholes and super-high cars, causing accidents that endanger personal safety.

Secondly, crossing the road from the middle of the road is usually better than crossing the road, which is also the core point of this answer. The key is that the traffic situation is relatively simple. For pedestrians, it is not necessary to pay attention to the traffic situation at every intersection, and it is also true for drivers. Just pay attention to the road ahead. Usually, the line of sight is good, and it is easy to notice pedestrians. But! Be sure to observe the vehicles when crossing the road. Don't cross the road while playing with your mobile phone.

However, it is worth mentioning that setting traffic lights at the intersection of roads can hardly lose traffic flow and even improve traffic efficiency. However, setting crosswalks and traffic lights in the center of the road section has a great impact on traffic efficiency. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, crosswalks and traffic lights are generally not set in the middle of the road section.

The function of traffic lights is usually better to cross the road at a red light than at a red light, because a small number of drivers will not completely slow down when they see the green light, or they may not notice the pedestrians in black clothes, which is easy to cause accidents at night.

Note: crossing the road at an intersection without traffic lights is a dangerous behavior. Many of these intersections are located at the junction of towns. At this time, the speed has not dropped, and it is easy to be dangerous!

Finally, climbing the guardrail is a kind of death, because it is very likely that the guardrail will turn over or hook, trapping people in the middle of the motorway, and the driver may not have time to react. Moreover, many sections with guardrails are faster, which further aggravates its danger.

Therefore, it is a compromise and safe crossing scheme to choose the intersection with traffic lights without crossing the tunnel and overpass.
