Summary edit

Description

I remember seeing similar pavement markings in London at pedestrian crossings.

Because Hong Kong and London are both left-drive, many visitors from right-drive countries often look the wrong way when crossing the streets. And on one-way streets, both visitors and locals may look the wrong way. These markings let pedestrians know which way to look for oncoming traffic before crossing.

Here in Hong Kong, many crosswalks are not clearly marked, and these "look right/look left" markings are the only indications that there is a crosswalk. Also the use of these markings are less consistent than in London.
