Teedeljalakäijatele

Teedeljalakäijatele is an Estonian term that translates to "for pedestrians" or "pedestrian crossing." It is commonly used in traffic signage and regulations to indicate areas where pedestrians have the right of way or where they are permitted to cross a road.

The most recognizable use of "teedeljalakäijatele" is on a traffic sign depicting a white silhouette of a walking person on a blue background. This sign signifies a designated pedestrian crossing, also known as a zebra crossing in many other countries. Drivers are legally required to yield to pedestrians who are on or entering such a crossing.

Beyond the physical crossing, the phrase can also appear in traffic rules and regulations to outline the rights and responsibilities of pedestrians. This might include guidelines on where pedestrians are allowed to walk when there are no sidewalks, such as along the shoulder of the road, and how they should signal their intention to cross. Understanding "teedeljalakäijatele" is crucial for both drivers and pedestrians to ensure safety and order on Estonian roads. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing pedestrian movement and ensuring their safe passage across vehicular traffic routes.
