Grammar
FROM vs OF
Which would you say please? Could you help me correct it if there is something wrong?
- When walking up a one way street, walking in the opposte direction from the car is a better idea than walking in the direction the car is driving as you can see it if it drives head on.
Thank you

It's one-way (with a hyphen), but there's nothing wrong with it grammatically. In terms of style, however, it has many more words than necessary, and the logic is a bit strange, given that you're talking about a one-way street. You could just have said, Walking against the traffic is safer than walking with the traffic.

- possibly adding that it's because you can see approaching traffic that way.
