I want my zebra back, this is not visible from far away. And if I don’t see a crosswalk anywhere nearby, then I shall cross the road anywhere convenient.
It looks like it’s a signalized crossing now. Depending on the timing settings of the traffic lights and the speed limit this can be better for people walking. Particularly when it has a sensor to see when everyone is done crossing.
Zebra crossings can be very challenging for disabled people, like visual impairments and mobility issues. These groups can feel very vulnerable using such a crossing because there is no auditory confirmation.
There might be better solutions though if the speed limit is lowered.
Up until recently zebras were used everywhere, including on signalized crossings.
The extra challenge with this is/was that guide dogs aren’t/weren’t (yet) trained on it. Least that’s what I’ve seen in news at the end of last year.
Bratislava’s barely visible pedestrian crossings also tripped me the fuck out when I was there but then I realized you can actually cross wherever it’s convenient because drivers are not out to kill you.
I can access catbox from the UK, no VPN. But videos hosted on it often won’t show up on Connect(although they did until recently), so I have to view them via browser. I can see your images just fine.
But fuck this shit:

The one you dislike is better for two wheel vehicles (bicycles and motorbikes), the paint of the crossing is very slippery when wet.
There’s also non-slip paint which is what I see most nowadays.
This is the norm in some countries.

The traffic light is visible from far away and at a traffic light it’s almost always possible to cross a road.
Are there images in your comment that other people are seeing? I don’t see anything after your : characters except a few lines of white space.
Yeah. But Imgur blocks me because of my VPN, so I used Catbox. However Catbox is blocked in some countries.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: From FAQ, blocked in/on/by: Australia, Ireland, UK, Iran, Afghanistan, Comcast, Spectrum, Rogers, Verizon, Quad9.

Hmmm thanks for the info. I am in the US. It is probably just my Lemmy client, I’m using “Connect” fwiw.
