It's not just the face, I always aim for eye contact.

But also as they say in the article it's about judging risk. If the face is towards you you're very unlikely to be in the peripheral vision, so there is a good chance the driver saw you.

I do the same. It failed me once though: a young woman in a SUV was looking me in the eye and drove forward; I managed to stop in the last moment.


I've added a friendly nod to this as well. If I get a nod back, odds are MUCH better that I've been seen. If I don't, lots of caution is used.
