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.
