What the community said
Recent experience suggests that in Nha Trang drivers rarely stop just because a pedestrian is waiting at the curb. The practical approach is to start moving calmly and keep a steady pace so scooters and cars can go around you.

One practical tip is to cross slowly on foot, keep watching both directions, and never try to dash through traffic. If your movement is predictable, vehicles usually adjust their line and pass around you.

Another trick that can help in Nha Trang is raising your hand to signal that you are crossing. Even with that gesture, the key is not to step out abruptly or change direction suddenly.
