oppaaväylien

Oppaaväylien, also known as "oppaat" or "oppaaväylät" in Finnish, are a type of pedestrian crossing in Finland. They are typically found in urban areas and are designed to provide safe passage for pedestrians across roads. Oppaaväylien are characterized by their distinctive red and white color scheme, with the red color representing the stop sign and the white color representing the safe crossing area. They are often accompanied by a pedestrian crossing sign and a traffic light that indicates when it is safe for pedestrians to cross.

Oppaaväylien are regulated by Finnish traffic laws, which require drivers to stop for pedestrians at designated crossings. Failure to do so can result in a fine. Oppaaväylien are an important part of Finnish urban infrastructure, providing a safe and convenient way for pedestrians to cross roads. They are also an important part of Finland's commitment to promoting sustainable and active transportation.
