gyalogkeresztezdés

Gyalogkeresztezés is a Hungarian term that translates literally to "foot crossing" or "pedestrian crossing." It refers to the designated area on a road or street where pedestrians have the right of way to cross. These crossings are typically marked with white lines on the pavement and often accompanied by signage. In many countries, the concept is known as a pedestrian crossing, crosswalk, or zebra crossing.

The purpose of a gyalogkeresztezés is to enhance pedestrian safety by creating a predictable and legally recognized point for crossing. Drivers are generally required to yield to pedestrians who are within or entering the crossing. The specific regulations regarding driver and pedestrian behavior at these crossings can vary by jurisdiction.

In Hungary, as in many European countries, gyalogkeresztezés are a common feature of urban and suburban environments. They are an essential part of traffic management, aiming to facilitate safe movement for pedestrians while also ensuring the orderly flow of vehicular traffic. The presence of a gyalogkeresztezés typically signifies a zone where pedestrian priority is paramount.
