Pedestrian crossings

Pedestrian crossings are designated areas on roadways where pedestrians can safely cross. They are marked by painted lines, often referred to as zebra crossings, and may include signs or signals to alert drivers and walkers. At these crossings, drivers are typically required to yield to pedestrians. Some crossings are equipped with traffic lights that control when pedestrians can cross safely. They play a crucial role in promoting road safety by providing a structured way for people to navigate busy streets while minimizing the risk of accidents involving vehicles.
