Zebra crossings are there to improve road safety by giving pedestrians a designated place to cross the road and alerting drivers to their presence. These crossings are something that stays visible for a month and remains disappeared for entire year in my city. Not only zebra crossings, the most of other road markings remain invisible for most part of the calendar. They are one of the basic low-cost safety measures. They are those lines, symbols, and colours that you see on the road when you drive or walk. They help us to follow the rules of the road and stay safe. However, no one is bothered by their absence here, not authority, not law enforcers and not pedestrians ourselves, and obviously no one is complaining. No wonder, road users are not safe, and we have frequent accidents.
