A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing.

Its distinguishing feature is alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface, resembling the coat of a zebra.

A zebra crossing typically gives priority to rights of way to pedestrians but in Nigeria, zebra crossing are not respected by motorists.

It is appalling that even educated motorists pay little or no attention to pedestrians waiting to cross to the other side by a zebra crossing.

In Lagos for example, it has become an offense for pedestrians not to use a pedestrian bridge. A law should also be in place to enforce motorists to obey zebra crossing and stop for pedestrians to cross when necessary.

What do you have to say? Are zebra crossing just another road design in Nigeria?
