Section no5

5. Pedestrian Rights and Crossings

Pedestrians are recognized as vulnerable road users and are given priority in many situations.

• Right of Way:
  Drivers must stop for pedestrians at designated crossings, including zebra crossings and signal-controlled intersections.

• Special Zones:
  Areas near schools, parks, and public transport hubs are designated as pedestrian-priority zones, requiring drivers to reduce speed significantly.

• Pedestrian Responsibilities:
  Pedestrians must use designated crossings where available and obey traffic signals. Crossing outside safe zones (jaywalking) in high-risk areas may result in fines.

• Accessibility:
  Infrastructure such as ramps, tactile paving, and audible signals are implemented to support individuals with disabilities.
