This is addictive. I am dying laughing watching the webcam. I would be so annoyed if I lived near there but from my office chair many miles away the horns just make it funnier.

That crossing would annoy the hell out of me if I lived near there.

It amazes me how many people just step onto the crossing before the approaching cars have slowed properly, or stopped. Maybe it's just my mistrust of most drivers, or with wish to see my next birthday, but I wouldn't step onto a crossing until the traffic has stopped.
I just saw 5-7 people on each side of the road waiting to cross. I was under the impression if people were waiting at a zebra crossing then they have right of way and vehicles have to stop, but until someone stepped out not a single car, bus or van stopped to let anyone cross.

The buses don't give a fk, they just come flying through there!

Definitely going to be some live deaths on here.

I showed this to my wife last night and the first thing she said was "Oh cool I want to go there and have my picture taken crossing the road!"...

Its because all trhey are going to do is fk about in the middle of the road. Everyone using that road knows this.

Not saying its right, just how it is.

I understand, I would avoid that road like the plague, not good how fast they charge through though.

I think they do have right of way. I still wouldn't step onto the crossing until a car had stopped though.

I think I've just seen someone walk up to the crossing.. Walk across and carry on walking..

Not a normal person, surely? eek

I've never seen a webcam with sound before! Listening-in on a tour guide is interesting for about 20 seconds but the current chap has one of the most irritating voices I have ever heard...

The guide just said they were under a 24hrs webcam. Hopefully this could get funny.
