There is a traffic marking, I believe we should always see, but many people are not very familiar with it. That is the kind of rhombus traffic marking on the road. Is this traffic marking everybody seeing it every day and I feel particularly familiar, but do you know what it is?
The diamond traffic markings are called pedestrian crosswalk warning signs. This sign is the zebra warning sign, which means that there is a zebra crossing in front of it to remind the vehicle to pay attention to the start of deceleration. Generally used for road zebra crossings, like crossing zebra crossings will not be set. The size of the diamond logo and the distance from the zebra crossing are all national standards!
Specific to each zebra crossing, the diamond mark setting distance is different, such as the straight section of the zebra crossing, because the speed of the vehicle straight, the diamond sign is set farther, generally set two, give the driver enough reminder. When the vehicle turns, the speed will have slowed down, so before the zebra crossing on the right turn, the diamond sign will be set closer to the zebra crossing. Pay attention to these distances and distances. These distances are important references for the determination of accident liability!
After you pass the diamond you have not slowed down. If you knocked over someone, you have to bear the responsibility. In other words, if there is a traffic accident after a diamond occurs, and other road sections occur, whether it is responsibility or accident compensation, the results are greatly different!
We have seen a lot of cases. Regarding this division of responsibilities, if pedestrians cross the road without crossing the zebra crossing and pass through the vicinity of the zebra crossing, a traffic accident occurs. Pedestrians must have certain responsibilities, but the vehicle side has not fulfilled its obligation of deceleration and avoidance. We must take greater responsibility. This is totally different from walking through the streets. For example, if the vehicle has slowed down near the zebra crossing, the pedestrian suddenly rushes out. In this case, the vehicle has decelerated, but the effect of deceleration has not been achieved. However, the pedestrian crossing the road is too sudden and the time left for the driver to reflect is very small. The responsibility is even greater. The police may be more inclined to determine that the two parties bear the same responsibilities. If the pedestrian does not suddenly rush out, but normal crossing the road, but did not take the zebra crossing, the motor vehicle has not slowed down, the police will be more inclined to determine the main responsibility of motor vehicle drivers.
