Given that, in the metropolis of Kathmandu crosswalks (zebra crossings) are waiting stations,
What would happen if pedestrians in Kathmandu did the following?
In a city where right is wrong, wrong is right; left is right, right is left; good is bad, bad is good; up is down, down is up; black is white, white is black….

How would the drivers react? Drivers of public vehicles that are supported by a strong association of transportation entrepreneurs and united against anything, everything and everyone else? Drivers of private cars, some costing as much, if not more than, a Ferrari in California? Short-fused and impatient drivers of scooters and motorcycles who think of no one else and nothing else apart from reaching their destination?
How would they react?
