Know your zebra crossings: DBKL explains yellow vs white lines for pedestrian safety (VIDEO)

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has reminded road users to prioritise pedestrian safety at zebra crossings through a recent Facebook post accompanied by a video.

“Our advice is for road users to not ignore traffic signs for the safety of everyone,” DBKL wrote, stressing the importance of following traffic signals as a preventive measure.

Drivers must stop if pedestrians are waiting at a yellow crossing, while pedestrians must give way if drivers reach the crossing first.

For white crossings, drivers must always stop when pedestrians are crossing.

The accompanying video shows DBKL’s team repainting pedestrian crossings across the city to maintain visibility and safety.
