gyalogosátkelknél

The term "gyalogosátkelőhely" is the Hungarian word for a pedestrian crossing or crosswalk. It specifically refers to a designated area on a road where pedestrians have priority to cross. These crossings are typically marked with white lines on the road surface to indicate the crossing point.

In Hungary, as in many other countries, drivers are legally obligated to yield to pedestrians who are either on the crossing or about to enter it. The purpose of a gyalogosátkelőhely is to enhance pedestrian safety by providing a clearly defined and recognized space for them to cross roads, especially in urban areas with significant vehicle and foot traffic.

The markings for a gyalogosátkelőhely are standardized, often consisting of parallel white stripes. In some locations, these crossings may also be accompanied by warning signs for drivers and pedestrians, as well as traffic lights that regulate when it is safe for pedestrians to cross and when vehicles must stop. The enforcement of yielding to pedestrians at these designated areas is a key aspect of traffic safety regulations in Hungary. Failure to yield can result in penalties for drivers.
