To safely cross a street where traffic is moving at 30 mph, you should generally aim for a gap of about one-third to one-half of a block in each direction. This allows enough time to safely cross while giving you space to react to any unexpected situations.

Therefore, the response that best matches the recommended distance would be about one-half of a block.
