§ 68. Mr. David Griffithsasked the Minister of Transport what action he will take to prevent pedestrians from jay walking across main roads; and if he will take steps to control pedestrians going over zebra crossings.

The Pedestrian Crossings Regulations already make it an offence for pedestrians to loiter on zebra crossings.
