You are in a foreign country where the traffic signals are very different from what you are used to. As you approach a busy intersection, you see a pedestrian signal that shows a green figure, but the cars are still moving. How should you determine whether it is safe to cross, considering cultural components?

When you see a green pedestrian signal in a foreign country, it usually means that you can cross the street. However, traffic rules can vary greatly from one culture to another. In some places, cars may not stop for pedestrians even when the signal is green, so you need to be extra cautious. To determine if it's safe to cross, look for the behavior of the cars; if they are still moving quickly, it might not be safe to step onto the road. For example, in some countries, pedestrians wait for a clear gap in traffic even when the signal indicates they can cross, so observing local behavior is key to staying safe.
