Streets Alive Trials Images & Details
We’re adding 45 courtesy crossings across town to create more safe crossing opportunities. These crossings include a central refuge, as our wide streets sometimes make it difficult for people to cross safely.
Courtesy crossings have different rules from the zebra crossings we are used to in Gore.
• Unlike zebra crossings where pedestrians have the right of way, vehicles have the right of way approaching a courtesy crossing.
• Pedestrians must wait until there are no vehicles coming before crossing.
• However, vehicles must give way to people already on the crossing.
