A pedestrian crossing is a designated area on the road where people can safely walk across. It is usually marked with white stripes and may have traffic lights or signs to help control the flow of vehicles. These crossings are important for ensuring the safety of pedestrians, especially in busy areas where cars and people share the same space. Drivers are expected to stop when they see pedestrians waiting to cross at these locations. By following the rules of the road, including yielding at a pedestrian crossing, everyone can help prevent accidents and make streets safer for everyone, including children and the elderly.
