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.
