Case Study:- Louisa usually finishes her full-time job at 5pm and then takes a bus to her part-time job in a call centre where she starts at 6pm.

She rushes to catch the next bus and tries to save time by crossing the street to get to the bus stop more directly, rather than using the pedestrian crossing at the nearest intersection.
