The first whip-cracker section already passed our curb. Stay put for the rest of First Randoli, or move one block ahead along the ring. Not whip-cracker ear-distance with kids, and not whip-crackers as a walk-in signal.

Stay put if you already have a clear standing gap — the rest of the cortege still comes to you. Moving one block ahead only helps if your view is blocked and police still let pedestrians shift along the outer edge.

If short whistles start, freeze and step back rather than jogging along the kerb.

Flag-bearers and dancers after the whips still mean the tusker is later — patience beats a risky shuffle.
