The miracle is that no one will bump into you the traffic is just like and ant’s traffic, everyone will move or stop for your way even its just for a second.
The vehicle’s relatively small size, unobstructed visibility and especially the driver’s experience of navigating the city mean they’ll be cautious on the road, at least to avoid crashing into any pedestrians. any. As a general rule, don’t rush to the other side of the street.
