Education › Pedestrian Etiquette Tips by sabiarea(op): 4:51pm On Oct 29, 2018

Like every thing in life, we are guided by rules either conventional or constitutional.

Below is an excerpt from a piece in the Vanguard Newspaper on pedestrian etiquette.

A pedestrian is a person who is walking on the road especially in an area also used by vehicles. Drivers share the road with many other road users among whom are pedestrians who are part of exposed road users.

Generally there are three types of pedestrians most often involved in road traffic crashes: children, the elderly and adults under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

PEDESTRIAN ETIQUETTE TIPS.

SWINGING

Sometimes you may not realize how you walk until someone tells you. It has already become quite a habit you have gradually grown up into and quite used to. Many times you may walk with a little swag without knowing. The most common is the swinging of arms and at times including the bag. Whether you swing your arms foreword or sideways, it can be very inconvenient for other road users. Soldier like walking also makes you appear as if you are in a hurry.

To avoid accidentally knocking other road users, watch your pace and speed; at all times keeping your personal belongings closer.

FACE UP FACE DOWN

We all like to multitask given the opportunity even while walking. Too many times we see people walking while texting on their mobile phone, in the same light with new technology your mobile phone is used to locate an address which keeps your eyes glued to the phone, how dangerous this is as you are totally unprepared for obstacles that may be in front of you. To avoid any form of hazard today it is more important to keep your eyes on the ball while walking. Negligence is no excuse while walking on the road. It is easier to stop and take a simple break while concentrating on what is handheld. Ensure your face is always up rather than down to avoid likely accidents due to the distraction.

Literature › How Well Do We Know Our Road Signs by sabiarea(op): 4:51pm On Oct 05, 2018

[img]https://3.bp..com/-SnTdR87PYSE/Wkln2eR14BI/AAAAAAAAAA4/zNwNl2pTPkgOSHMDXDOtGoPD75nr4qaxACPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG-20171216-WA0054.jpg[/img]

It may not come as a surprise that simple and common road signs Nigerians do not know what they mean.

And to think that we all have an opinion concerning every road user on who is right or wrong whenever there is a major or minor mishap can be funny.

Little wonder, where you see a situation were a one-way road user claims right of way because he is the first to enter the road (lol).

Comical,right? But alarming because everyone is involved in road usage both the pedestrian, motorcycle rider or vehicle owner.

In our next post we will try to look at some road signs and what they mean so that we go fit educate ourselves.

However, 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, resembling the coat of a zebra. A zebra crossing typically gives priority to rights of way to pedestrians...(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra_crossing).

Wetin e mean say na road sign wey get zebra colour of white and black which means make a vehicles or motorcycles give way to people way dey use leg walka and wan cross the road.

Lagos is the heartbeat of Nigeria-economically, socially and otherwise. From the comical to the puzzling and the most shocking, it all happens in this city of over 15 million people. It is a fascinating place to be.

Due to the complexities that makes Lagos unique, people have evolved different ways to communicate, interact and pass along messages which can only be understood by people who are familiar with these slangs.

As a first time visitor in Lagos, you need to keep these slangs at your finger-tips as they may come handy at any time. 5 street parlance you must know if you are resident in the centre of excellence.

Johnny Just Come (JJC)

Also known as JJC, it is an argot used to describe someone who is naive because they are visiting an unfamiliar terrain for the first time. Find out more:_{https://www.sabiarea.com.ng/2018/09/nigeria-street-slangs-you-must-know.html}
