It's not more fun in the Philippines...Sometimes #3

I saw the sign

Or should I say we don't see the signs. I am talking about street signs.

Try for instance walking at Session Rd. Notice the pedestrian crossing in front of MacDonald's. The sign is very visible and clearly shows stop for pedestrians to cross and yet you see men and women crossing.

This, however, do not only pertain to pedestrians because even some motorists ignores it. At times just because it is green, they go for it even if they are already blocking the intersection. Problem is, when the traffic did not move, then the intersection is already blocked hence other motorists that needs to cross the road are stock even when it is already green for them. At times, motorists stop at the pedestrian lane with other cars following very close behind it. How on earth then can people cross when the very area afforded for them to walk is occupied by cars? People then have to navigate and squeeze in between cars not to mention between each other. Imagine if you are carrying big heavy bags or your own toddler.
