Cheez for 14 months returned to its former place by a pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Pervomaisky Prospekt and Pavlov Street in Ryazan. This good event occurred on the eve of the election of the governor of the Ryazan region, but I do not want to connect this sound act with the election PR. If the authorities really began to listen to the opinion of the townspeople and the guests of Ryazan, then oh how much it will still be necessary to work hard in the direction of the safety of pedestrians. It’s good that common sense began to prevail over the reckless actions of officials. If not all the "zebras" will have to be returned to the original places, so at least most of them. And this is justified: all transitions for decades regularly served people, and stupidly go towards bureaucratic squiggles (for the sake of renewed in the interests of motorists GOST) - means a challenge to society. This is not the first pedestrian crossing returned to the Ryazans. In the Prioksky village, near the stop "Pirogov St.", Zebra also appeared. I would like to believe that the "zebra" will appear at all Ryazan intersections, regardless of whether they were canceled there, or they simply "forgot" to draw.
Regarding the "zebra" on Pervomaisky Prospekt I want to add that it would be nice to finish it to the edge of the sidewalk, or install a border stone to the place from where the pedestrian marking begins. Otherwise, in the "pockets" before the pedestrian crossings, taxi drivers will still park their cars and all who are not lazy. Waking between machines to the transition is also uncomfortable and contradictory of traffic rules, as the very lack of "zebra".

Parking "pockets" should not be before a pedestrian transition.
