Crossing road

Crossing road

The way how pedestrians crosses the road in Turkey is different than in other countries I have been so far. Here people cross the road in any place they feel like crossing the road. That means that people do not use that much zebra crossing and cars do not stop if you are waiting on the zebra crossing for crossing the road. You just have to cross the road fast when you see a bit wider gap between the cars. So far I have seen cars always slowing down when they see somebody crossing the road but in Turkey instead of slowing down cars accelerate. Then you of course feel like taking several quicker steps to avoid car hitting you.
