If we hear whip-crackers from a block away, is that a we-still-have-time-to-walk-in signal for First Randoli, or are we already too late. Not a police barrier PDF and not barrier timing after 3.

Hearing whip-crackers from a block away usually means the opening is underway or seconds away — walk in only if you already have a clear path and a curb target. If barriers look sealed, do not force it; switch to a quiet outer view or the hotel stream.

Treat rising drums the same way — cue to plant, not to sprint through a closed line.
