The origin of zebra crossing

The zebra crossing, a scientific crosswalk, was used in some streets of Pompeii, Italy as early as ancient Rome, where people, horses and cars were mixed, traffic was often blocked and accidents often occurred. To solve this problem, people raised sidewalks to separate people from horses and cars. Later, near Ma Lukou, pieces of stones protruding from the road were placed horizontally, called jumping stones, as a sign to guide people to pass. Pedestrians can cross the road on the jumping stone, which is just between the two wheels of the carriage, so the carriage can pass safely. Cars appeared in the19th century. Cars are faster and more dangerous than carriages, so jumping stones is no longer suitable for this. After many experiments, in the early 1950s of 19, this crosswalk line first appeared on the streets of London, England, which is the origin of the first crosswalk line. From its appearance to the present, it has played a great role in directing vehicles and pedestrians to move and park in the street in an orderly way, reducing traffic accidents and protecting personal safety. Supplement: Add a joke! Just relax。 How did zebra crossing come into being? A: A long time ago, an African went abroad to sell zebra skins. When crossing the road, a car suddenly came! The black man was surprised, and the zebra skin in his hand fell to the ground and scattered, and the car stopped at once! Then people invented zebra crossing! hahahaha ...
