They look both ways and help the other members of their troop.
Which makes Chimpanzees more intelligent than "Intoxicated Humans" who get flattened by Cars regularly.
I'd expect the "Big Hairy Dudes" to be no less intelligent than Chimps.

Intersting piece Mikka. Certainly shows the chimps use more sense then most creatures when crossing the road.

Magpies and Crows are smart in similar ways as well.
I've seen Crows drop nuts on a road at a busy intersection. Car run over the nuts and crack them open. When the lights turn red and the cars stop, the Crows swoop in and eat the nuts, finishing before the Green light. And then the pattern repeats.
There are many intelligent creatures all around us. For the most part, we rarely recognise their intellect.
