when crossing multilane highways, you should treat each side as a one way street.
TRUE
FALSE???
I would say true.
If there is an island in the middle, cross one half of the highway at a time.
And nearly all US highways have an island in the middle.
I think Leo assumes that there is is enough space in the width of the island for a car to remain stopped without blocking traffic on either side. Only if this is true is his answer correct.
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

Actually, your statement is partially true. When crossing multilane highways, it is generally advised to treat each side as a one-way street. This means that you should carefully observe the traffic in each direction and only cross one lane at a time. However, it is important to note that not all highways have a physical island or median in the middle.
If there is an island or median in the middle of the highway, it can provide a safe refuge for pedestrians while crossing. In such cases, you can follow the approach of crossing one half of the highway at a time, using the island as a mid-point to stop and assess the traffic before crossing the remaining lanes.
However, it's worth mentioning that not all multilane highways have medians or islands. In cases where there is no median, it is generally recommended to find a designated crossing point such as a pedestrian bridge or marked crosswalk where you can safely cross the entire highway in one go.
To summarize, when crossing multilane highways, treat each side as a one-way street, carefully observe the traffic in each direction, and if there is a median or island, cross one half of the highway at a time. If there is no median or island, find a designated crossing point to safely cross the entire highway.
