I have a few one-way streets I have to cross on my commute, and I absolutely always look both ways every single time. There is some r3t4rd going to wrong way at least once a month.

I would have loved to see the look on her face when she realized what was going on. lol
I almost got t-boned by a cyclist going the wrong way down the street next to the grocery store here.
