“Safe Crossing”, a crowd-sourced initiative, has identified over 425 crossings likely violating the Code de la Route, with over 1,787 crossings analysed in total. Access the map here.

This means that roughly a third of all pedestrian crossings in the City of Luxembourg may not be setup according to the rules of the law, despite the fact that such flaws have already been brought to attention of city leaders by an audit on pedestrian security in 2015, the platform underlines.
