Explanation
A safety zone is a designated area for pedestrians to get on or off buses or trolleys, and driving through it can endanger their safety. Safety zones are marked by raised buttons or markers on the road and are set aside for pedestrians. They are typically found in areas where streetcars or trolleys share the roadway with other vehicles. As a driver, it is important to be aware of safety zones and avoid driving through them, even if it means waiting for pedestrians to cross the road.
