For the thousands of children who struggle each day to cross busy streets outside their schools, help is at hand in the shape of a pop-up zebra crossing that can be installed on any road in less than a minute.
The design was developed by the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) to mark the start of Green Transport Week.

Spokesperson at the Environmental Transport Association (ETA), Yannick Read, said: “The idea may be tongue-in-cheek, but the issue is deadly serious; with over 2,000 children killed or seriously injured each year on our roads, parents should never have to battle to have a genuine crossing installed.”
