The now-common practice of some drivers stopping at an empty zebra crossing, because they think that pedestrians might want to cross is causing one or two slight delays at Abbey Road. A bit irritating for some drivers when it turns out that the pedestrians don't actually want to cross the road.

[ummmm]

You would get frustrated when some people were clearly just doing 'The Beatles' crossing.

On the other hand....from the day I started my lessons I always slow down coming up to a pedestrian crossing. Left right left right...carry on.

however, people don't really seem to be getting frustrated - more just barging on past

The crossing isn't in the same place as when The Beatles were photographed on it - it's been relocated.
