When you cross the street, do you look at both sides?

The world we live in is very hectic, and our pace of life (at least that of most people) is quite fast. A simple activity, such as crossing the street, can become - unfortunately - in a serious accident.
So, do you usually look both ways before you cross it?
I can't cross a street without looking both sides, it's almost like an automatic process (and unless it's something obvious, where there's no car).

There's an old saying that the definition of a pessimist is someone who looks both ways crossing a one-way street. Whoever said that could not have anticipated the number of drivers I see going the wrong way up one.

When I was a teen I had a ridiculously awful attitude. I wouldn't watch for cars I wouldn't go and think that cars have breaks they will stop. It never occurred to me until I had children of my own how danger that attitude I had was. It could have gotten me killed or crippled for life.

I can't say that I actually cross a street very often, it is mostly in parking lots but yes, I always look both ways

Yes I do even in this rural area I live in right now.
Though once, I was in a small town still.. I had looked both ways and I have no idea where this car came from but he didn't even stop for me crossing the street and I was in the other lane! It was scary.

Yeah I do watch on both sides, its heavy traffic these days in here. I don't wanna die so early I still have lot of things to do in my life. So I watch on both sides carefully before crossing the path. It gives me goosebumps if I don't
