Do you not have zebra crossings where you are? Striped line going across the road, with "flashing amber beacons" on either side, where cars must stop if someone is crossing or waiting to cross.
I think they're mainly a UK/Ireland thing, which confused the hell out of me when I went to continental europe and saw the same road markings paired with actual traffic lights + button. (here, that'd be a "pelican crossing" and have different road markings)
- Tagbert 3y agoYes, we do have those in the US. The versions that I hate are where there are always flashing yellow lights at those whether there is a pedestrian present or not. It is confusing and teaches people to ignore the flashing light as it is meaningless. I prefer the kind where a pedestrian presses a button and the lights flash to tell the cars to stop.
