I’m a tourist. What’s up with these black crosswalks?

  1. It used to be a crosswalk but it isn’t at the moment, presumably.

  2. Just blacked out because it’s no longer a crosswalk.

    Your phrasing makes it seem like they’re extremely common, but I’ve never really seen one blacked out like that…

  3. It looks like the crosswalk was removed. But also they left in the street tiles with the nubs. Those are so that blind people know there is a crosswalk there.

  4. I still consider itas usual crosswalk. They were not there for nothing.

  5. white crosswalk are for … people and black crosswalks are … not in use anymore

  6. They removed the sidewalks because this is a pedestrian zone, so you can cross anywhere

  7. Used to be a crosswalk. Where they erased them like that, it is because now you can cross wherever you want on the street. Pedestrians have always priority in Namur city center.

  8. Multicultural city. Diversity. You only have whites where you live?

  9. Normally in a 30 zone you are allowed to cross wherever you want and there are no crosswalks needed. 

  10. For a while they tried it in some places to make crosswalks out of little tiles etc. And they had a tendency to work themselves loose due to heavy traffic, and covering them with tarmac was a pretty standard solution.

  11. Those are zebrapads that have died…

    Once upon a time they offered their black_white striped comfort to pedestrians,

    Now only the memory remains

  12. He was hit by the cancel culture for black facing in the street
