Persons with disabilities have asked government to establish modernised Zebra crossings in, especially, cities to help them avoid accidents.
Mr Ronald Luyima, a member of National Assessment Audit Team (NAAT) said they need to have modernized Zebra crossings with an audialised control panel that is able to make sound to alert road users.
He also said that the pavements are faded in that a person with failing vision cannot differentiate them from the main road.
“Some people have been involved into road accidents because the pavements are not provided with contrasting colours, Mr Luyima said during the closure of the Global UN safety week in Kampala on Sunday.
