Hearing short police whistle bursts after the 6:44 PM First Randoli start. Do we clear the lane entirely, or just stand further back from the kerb.

Short bursts usually mean tighten back from the kerb and leave the lane edge clear for performers and officers. Full clear-the-block orders are louder and repeated — watch what locals do in the next two seconds.

Do not use whistle moments to sprint one block ahead — freeze first, then adjust.

If you need an exit, wait for a calm gap after the whistle, then take a side alley you already scouted.
