Zebra crossing

Zebra crossing

From Media Indonesia

One of the safest places to cross a road is at the zebra
crossing. But it is wrong to think that only the pedestrians have
to abide by the traffic regulations when using the zebra
crossing. In fact, more importantly, drivers are also supposed to
observe traffic laws.

In Jakarta, zebra crossings are generally marked where
pedestrians need them most, around schools, markets and so on.

Unfortunately, there is lack of understanding on the part of
drivers. Drivers usually do not reduce their speed when
approaching a zebra crossing, even if there are pedestrians
waiting to cross. Both pedestrians and drivers should know that a
zebra crossing is for their own good.
