Pedestrian Lane

These are the white stripes painted in the road where people can cross the street without being bumped or run-over by moving vehicles.

Most drivers and motorists still are not aware of this purpose. Drivers who see pedestrians trying to cross the lane would accelerate to beat the guy who is trying to cross the lane, this would create confusion and accident.

Sometimes vehicle catches up on you in the middle of the lane while crossing slowly, the disrespectful driver would honk frantically sending you a message that you are delaying his passage.

This issue is not directed only to public utility vehicles such as taxi or PUJ but also to private vehicles who are driven by traffic-law-ignorant drivers, may it be the chauffeur or the owner himself.

We should be sensitive to slow-moving senior citizens who are visually impaired, people who are constricted because of excessive loads in both hands. At times these folks are mocked, "they should stay at home to prevent themselves from getting hurt, staying on the streets would be risky".

Drivers who have not attended the driving seminar, or who just paid for their licenses should understand that they should give priority to those people using the pedestrian lane. The should observe courtesy and respect to pedestrians using the PEDESTRIAN LANES.
