The Nigeria Motorist And Their Attitude Towards The Zebra Crossing Signs.. by omaigala(m): 2:12pm On May 28, 2013
I really don't know if this section is the right place to post this.

Often times when I tried to take advantage of the zebra crossing signs on the road, I find myself either running back or running as fast as I could to avoid been hit by an on coming vehicle which usually are on high speed.

I discovered that all the motorist don't respect or act according to the purposes of these signs.


(((NOTE)))

A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian
crossing used in many places around the
world. Its distinguishing feature is
alternating dark and light stripes on the
road surface, from which it derives its name.
A zebra crossing typically gives extra rights
of way to pedestrians.

Why do the Nigeria motorists don't respect these signs? .

Because most Nigerian drivers did not pass through driving school.

With an attitude like yours, it's no wonder zebra / pedestrian crossings are not respected, or adhered to.

Then again, you might be joking, but if so, you're posting in the wrong section.

In Nigeria i think dat most motorists obey it when thier is a traffic warden at that point signalling...cox maybe 4 thier mind, u might nt knw whether the pedestrian u meet wants 2 cross the road or simply checking the cars most popular on nigerian roads.
Secondly, in the real sense i think the white colours should be highly reflective 2 effect the law being obeyed.
Above all, i dream that in the nearest future every road in Nigeria will have a traffic light cox thats the main thing.
