A famous pedestrian crossing

Posted on | February 26, 2009 |

Just received this link… I am sure some of you will recognize that you yourselves have done the same once in your life…

Did they imagine all the people taking pictures there…? :roll:

Enjoy ! (with the sound ;) )

By the way, did you know animal names are used to distinguish several types of pedestrian crossings within UK?

Zebra

Zebra crossing: wide longitudinal stripes on road, often with belisha beacons; pedestrians may cross at any time; drivers must give way to pedestrians who demonstrate intent to cross.
Pelican crossing: traffic lights for pedestrians and vehicles; button-operated.
Puffin crossing: pedestrian lights on near side of road; button-operated with curb-side detector.
Toucan crossing: for bicycles as well as pedestrians.
Pegasus crossing: an equestrian crossing.

Funny, isn’t it?
