Why do ducks insist on risking their life by walking across busy streets when they can fly?

I see this quite often. A group of ducks stopping traffic because they want to walk across the street. They see the cars coming yet they still want to walk.

They have the ability to fly, so why don't they fly across? I'm guessing it is because flying a short distance takes more effort for them than walking, but still, is it worth the risk of getting hit by a car?

Ducks are a special kind of bird. Their body mass is quite large for its size and wing power, thus requiring a lot of energy to "lift off". When danger arises, a duck WILL fly away, but in the meantime they store their energy for those moments.
