Oct. 21st, 2011 11:40 amToday's question: Would you, as a pedestrian, expect a cyclist to stop at a zebra crossing?
(Yes, I know a cyclist on a road should behave like traffic and is therefore legally obliged to stop for a zebra[*]. I'm asking about what you expect, in the real world, to actually happen. And what your reaction would be if they were to stop.)
( Black and white )
[*] Checking this morning, I was briefly very confused by the following line in the Highway Code:
Do not ride across a pelican, puffin or zebra crossing. Dismount and wheel your cycle across.
I guess they mean that I must not ride across a zebra in a direction orthogonal to the stripes :)
