A group of more than 10 university students dressed up in zebra costumes and danced at zebra crossings in Huizhou’s Jiangbei District in a move to spread awareness of the need for “civilised driving” on August 2, Huizhou Traffic Police reported on their microblog.
The students all hail from Huizhou but most study in other parts of the country. They decided to get together and do this so their summer holiday would be more interesting. You can watch them in action here:
The lyrics of the song you can hear in the background translate as follows (the catchiness is somewhat lost in translation):
Let’s all get together and participate in this zebra activity
Remember that you stop at red lights and go at green lights
Respect traffic laws, safety is number 1
Raise your thumbs to show you agreeZebra, zebra, zebra crossings
4+4 wait at zebra crossings
5+5 wait at zebra crossings
6+6 Oh, yeah!Zebra crossing, I’m a zebra crossing
Traffic police have struggled to enforce the laws in recent months and need all the help they can get.
