Ülekäiguradasid

Ülekäiguradasid are designated pedestrian crossings found on roads, primarily in Estonia and other Baltic countries. Their purpose is to provide a safe and visible location for pedestrians to cross roadways. Typically, ülekäiguradasid are marked with white parallel lines painted on the asphalt, forming a striped pattern that extends across the width of the road. This distinctive marking alerts drivers to the presence of a crossing and indicates that they must yield to pedestrians.

The legal requirements for ülekäiguradasid are established in traffic regulations. Drivers are generally obligated to slow down and stop if necessary to allow pedestrians to cross safely when they are on or approaching an ülekäiguradas. Pedestrians, in turn, are expected to use these marked crossings when available for their own safety. In many areas, these crossings are also accompanied by signage, further reinforcing their location and the associated traffic rules. Some ülekäiguradasid may also be illuminated at night or equipped with traffic lights to enhance visibility and control the flow of traffic and pedestrians. The implementation of ülekäiguradasid is a key component of road safety strategies aimed at reducing pedestrian-vehicle conflicts.
