Hi
This may seem a silly question but...........
I wanted to know about crossing the roads, in particular on the 192 near Old Town.
I believe they are called crosswalks in USA.
Are they like the ones we have in the UK ? [msnscared]
Are there signals for pedestrians like in the UK ?
Thanks Ellie

Yes there are pedestrian lights and you should only cross at these.<blockquote id="quote" class="ffs">quote:Originally posted by ellieboxer

There are crossings just like we have in UK and you abide my the rules as they are strict .
We find the drives more polite than here in the UK but there are a lot of tourist driving so allow for some pepole not being sure especially if they have not driven before in USA .
Go to see the old cars in old town at the weeekend it is good and they parade around the street in OLD TOWN KISSIMMEE .
