With many thanks to Snowsquare who has captured the slightly bizarre zebra crossing advert. My apartment is in the pereuloki between Stary Arbat and Prechistenka which means that I frequently cross both on car and foot the two of the only zebra crossings which are sometimes obeyed. I know what the traffic law says, but it is disobeyed so completely as to make it no longer a law, until the GAI are underperforming their quotas of de-cashification of Moscow drivers. Suffice it to say that neither drivers nor pedestrians have road sense; as a Brit I clearly remember the Green Cross Code lessons at school. No one crossing a zebra crossing in Moscow does.
