Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })So, you're running down the street or down the hall, with the pursuer(s) hot on your heels. How to get out of this sticky situation? Why, run into an alley or street to the side, of course! Rest assured that your pursuer(s) will blindly dash past you - apparently, their peripheral vision is conveniently deactivated as they approach your hideout. This will happen even if they should be capable of seeing you entering the hideout. See also Behind the Black, Scooby-Dooby Doors. Not to be confused with characters being pursued down an actual "blind alley", only to find themselves up against a Chain-Link Fence or other dead-end, or the short story by Isaac Asimov. |

Escape from Sobibór. One of the guards goes into a senior officer's office and discovers him by spotting blood and following its trail, marking the turning point of the escape when they had previously gotten along without widespread discovery. | |

The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H. P. Lovecraft has a variation of this trope. The protagonist is fleeing the eponymous Town with a Dark Secret and hears his pursuers approaching, so he jumps into a ditch. The huge search party just passes him by, even after he faints from horror at the sight of them. | |

Seen in one of the short films made for 28 Weeks Later. A man is pressed up against a wall as the Rage virus infected run past the alley — presumably, their blinding anger prevents them from doing common sense things like looking around for someone who's gone out of sight. | |

A game mechanic in the Assassin's Creed series. Get out of the guards' line of sight, jump into a convenient well or haystack, and wait for the guards to lose interest. | |

The black Lamborghini does it during the opening chase sequence of The Cannonball Run: backing down a turnoff on the highway, waiting for the police car to go past, and then driving out to come up behind it again. | |

Averted in Inception. Cobb runs down an alley to try and ditch several agents that are chasing him. They notice him stuck in between the two buildings at the other end of the narrowing alley and he barely escapes them. | |
