off topic: Yes, I also learned that in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Zebra crossing seem to have no meaning, red lights at pedestrian crossings are ignored as long as it possible to cross before or after the pedestrian. Sounds dangerous, but seemed to work fine for everybody ;-)
I think there is a general pattern: In Germany almost no one dares to ignore a traffic light, most people also stop at a stop sign, at least they slow down to ~ 5 kmh. I cycled a lot of countries in Europe, and I noticed that in other countries a stop sign is placed nearly everywhere, which seems to have the effect that everybody treats it like a "watch out" hint, not more.

Even where there > are zebra crossings motorists don't stop or even slow down. it's the same in Italy, at least in the central and southern parts. You better watch out when crossing a road at a zebra crossing (sometimes also at traffic light controlled crossings, e.g. in Naples) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
