Pedestrain crossings: No longer useful?

About 100m away from a pedestrian crossing, what is popularly known as zebra crossing, an elderly woman with three young children, try to cross a main road. Watching her spending some few minutes in the scorching sun and trying to cross the road without success, I offer to help by drawing her attention to the zebra crossing, which is the safer and convenient area to cross the road only a few metres away.
