When someone is street smart, it means they have a good situational understanding and awareness. In simple words, they know what is going on around them and how to navigate that environment. The way they go about it is practical, generally resulting from real-life experience.

But since we all have different backgrounds, many of us didn't even get a chance to learn these lessons. However, you never know what situation you can end up in, and knowing how to respond to danger, or simply getting the best bang for your buck, can make a huge difference to your day.

Recently, Uber Facts, an online project that shares "the most unimportant things you'll never need to know" and one that we covered in the past, tweeted a question, asking, "People with 'street smarts,' what's your biggest street tip?" and received plenty of useful replies. So we decided to compile the best ones and give you a chance to learn something new. Continue scrolling and upvote the entries you like the most.
