Here are a few tips for walking the line.
Keep moving, do not stop or block the entrance or walkway, as long as you are moving and give space when needed (on a sidewalk or bike path), you are ok.
When handing out flyers, be courteous, stay calm, even if the driver is not. Do not force someone to take a flyer.
In the event someone gets aggressive with their vehicle (example tries to "run the line", make sure to note time, place, colour and license plate of vehicle.
When walking the line remember to not leave gaps and give a driver a reason to think they could "squeeze through".
If people get aggressive (yell, swear, etc.) DO NOT ENGAGE, smile, nod, keep moving.
