Walking is often considered the safest route to get to and from parties, visiting friends, or dining at restaurants. Even if you choose not to drive after consuming alcohol or drugs, you still need to be careful as a pedestrian. The reasons you should not drive when impaired (for example, impaired judgement, decision making, reaction time, coordination) still exist if you are a pedestrian. When impaired, you are more likely to:

For example, if you are walking impaired an officer could charge you with infractions such as intoxication in a public place. Some municipalities also have bylaws restricting jaywalking, and you are more likely to cross in an unsafe location if you are impaired.

*The United Nations number (UN number) is a 4-digit numbering system developed by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods for the quick identification of dangerous goods.

Pedestrians have the right of way in a crosswalk unless a peace officer or traffic control device directs otherwise. This means that even if the crosswalk is unmarked, vehicles must stop and yield to pedestrians. Drivers should make sure to watch for the elderly or people with disabilities who may take more time crossing. Failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk will result in a $810 fine and 4 demerit points. However, as a pedestrian you are still responsible for exercising due care even though you have the right of way and you should make sure that all vehicles have yielded before entering the crosswalk.

Only drivers operating a motor vehicle can be charged with impaired driving. However if an officer sees that you're impaired, he or she can fine you with other charges.

Many intersections with traffic lights have crosswalks with pedestrian signals. When the ‘walk’ signal is lit, pedestrians may enter the crosswalk. When the ‘don’t walk’ signal is lit or flashing, pedestrians must not enter the crosswalk and must clear the crosswalk immediately if already in it.

Signalling your intent to cross can help drivers know that you intend to enter the crosswalk. You can use Point, Pause, Proceed as a rule of thumb:

Depending on its properties, each type of dangerous goods is assigned a number known as its UN number*; for example, petrol is UN 1203. The UN number can be found on the label, transport document or safety data sheet. Otherwise the manufacturer or supplier of the goods can tell you this. You can also check if the goods are listed in the Australian Dangerous Goods Code.
