A love in my country that I find is very effective. It’s the love that makes it so that drivers have to wait for pedestrians to cross the crosswalks before going ahead on the road. It is enforced by using cameras called EDSE, which are placed on the buildings that are surrounding the crosswalks. And whenever a car tries to pass while a pedestrian is walking, they take a picture and the license plate is read from the picture and they get like a 4000 tf. It affects drivers the most definitely, but it also affects the pedestrians, you know, the people crossing the streets. I really like this law, because before this law everyone just used to pass the crosswalks without a care in the world about the people crossing the crosswalks. It almost got run over multiple times before this law was put into place. Once it was legislated, I could finally have peace of mind passing the crosswalks. Because of this, the drivers are rightfully punished for not letting the pedestrians cross the crosswalks. That is why I think it is a good rule. It really saves you from a lot of headaches waiting for the light to turn red when the passing priority should be really strictly beyond you. But yeah, that is a rule that I find very effective and I’ve support 100%.

A law in my country that I find very effective is the law that requires drivers to wait for pedestrians to cross the crosswalks before proceeding on the road. It is enforced using cameras called EDSE, which are placed on the buildings surrounding the crosswalks. Whenever a car tries to pass while a pedestrian is walking, the camera takes a picture, and the license plate is read from the image, resulting in a fine of about 4000 tf. This law affects drivers the most, but it also impacts pedestrians, the people crossing the streets. I really like this law because, before it was enacted, drivers would often ignore crosswalks and not care about the people crossing. I almost got run over multiple times before this law was put into place. Once it was legislated, I could finally have peace of mind when passing the crosswalks. Because of this, drivers are rightfully punished for not allowing pedestrians to cross. That is why I think it is a good rule. It really saves you from a lot of headaches waiting for the light to turn red when the passing priority should be strictly on pedestrians. But yes, that is a rule that I find very effective, and I support it 100%.
