I wanted to go back along Paradise Street, so you have to come out of the side doors and walk up slightly, in the direction of The Globe, where there is a newly created zebra crossing. So far so good. Then, upon closer inspection, you notice the pavement "dips" slightly and you then "attempt" to cross the road, but you have to LOOK RIGHT, LOOK LEFT, about 20 times before you DARE dash across. Twice you have to do this! Very odd! I honestly thought they would have put lights/pelican somewhere around the new Tesco.

There is a Pelican Crossing on Eagle St. For how to use a Zebra Crossing read on.


Zebra:-
A Zebra crossing is a path across a road marked with black and white stripes where pedestrians may cross.
They have NO traffic lights.

See the Video
Duration: 1.10 min
Size: 3.44Mb Pedestrians using the crossing should give traffic plenty of time to see them and to stop before starting to cross.
Vehicles will need more time when the road is slippery. Remember that traffic does not have to stop until someone has moved onto the crossing. Wait until traffic has stopped from both directions or the road is clear before crossing. Keep looking both ways, and listening, in case a driver or rider has not seen you and attempts to overtake a vehicle that has stopped.

So to claim your right of way step slowly onto the crossing and the traffic will stop
