On the other hand, according to European regulations, the zebra crossings must have a space of 7 meters of free visibility without objects (cars, etc.). No zebra crossing respects this regulation in Javea. Cars and sometimes vans park nearby and take away visibility. That could be greeted with planters. Even the local police sees it and does nothing.
