Zebra crossing is something that is new to the main highway in Molyko.It came with the Presidents visit on February 18 to stay.At first the drivers were not about to wait for every person on the zebra crossing to follow the ryules.Rather,the zebra crossing seemed to be the acceleration point so it was as good as any point on the road.So if one were to traverse the roads he better hurry or do it any where else.Some called it "imposing westernisation" others were just pleased to see the roads half painted white and the rest felt it was a replacement for the ridge that used to be in the middle of the road and its better because this time its across.

Let me take you 3 months from that visit,we are in June and i should say the message has sunk into the skulls of cab drivers thanks to the help of the traffic wardens who penalise drivers who do not wait for pedestrians at the zebra line to get across to the other side.
In fact the message has sunk in so deep that the wardens do not need to be there for the drivers to obey the rules.Though some drivers still break the rules,most do not.We are not quite there yet but we are closer than we were yesterday.
wow!! so loving this Zebra crossing, my country is seriously developing. It nice to see this at home too, not only in "Bush".
