In an attempt to curb jay walking the police will carry out an awareness program in Colombo today to ensure pedestrians cross the road only at zebra crossings and overhead bridges.

The police media unit says the program will be conducted in the Colombo district throughout the day noting that jay walking has resulted in a rise in accidents.

A similar program was carried out in Kandy recently and jay walkers were also fined. (Daily Mirror online)
