"Listen to how politely they say thank you, even though they do have the right to cross the road. Yes, sometimes all it takes is one person to do the right thing, and you can be that person starting now," he advised.
Seizing the moment to educate further, he reminded drivers that zebra crossings, whether painted in white or yellow, should always be respected, unless there is a special traffic light controlling pedestrian movement.
"After everyone has crossed safely, we can acknowledge the car behind us as a sign of thanks for their cooperation. Let's all ensure our roads are safe for everyone," he added.
The rider emphasized that pedestrian safety is just as important as the safety of drivers and riders.
"Behind every thank you is a reminder that the person crossing the road is human, just like us. Being behind the wheel doesn't make us less responsible, it makes us even more so.
"Let's bring humanity back to the roads. Respect the zebra crossing," he stressed.
The comments section was filled with supportive messages, with many people expressing their gratitude to the rider for spreading awareness and reminding everyone about the simple yet crucial act of respecting zebra crossings.
