Ped Xing Road Sign

Unfamiliar Sign on the Street. What it is? Probaly name of a person? some people may say. Almost all the street name is named after a popular person or a heroes of the past. It say Ped Xing . Why Ped Xing? That is the question in my mind. According to The Dictionary Ped Xing is pedestrian crossing or crosswalk is a designated point on a road at which some means are employed to assist pedestrians wishing to cross. They are designed to keep pedestrians together where they can be seen by motorists, and where they can cross most safely with the flow of vehicular traffic. Pedestrian crossings are often at intersections, but may also be at other points on busy roads that would otherwise be perilous to attempt to cross. They are common near schools or in other areas where there are a large number of children. Crosswalks can be considered a traffic calming technique.

This is the Ped Xing or the Pedestrian Crossing at Luneta Park.

When you cross streets, -- before you stop, look and listen -- you will find Ped Xing street sign.

Ped Xing is not one of the names of Chinese historical figures, it simply means a shortened pedestrian crossing sign.
