Road safety is an issue in Bolivia. Drivers are often reckless .In order to solve this problem, the city funded in 2001 a program called ...The Zebras....
Teens dress up as zebras and manage the traffic by directing cars and encouraging traffic safety. This method does not only bring down the number of accidents but it also is a social significance; it provides jobs for the youth with difficulties, like former drug addicts, people who had faced violence or even single teen parents.
While the police whistles and yells at you, giving you a ticket, the traffic zebras dance, gesture comically at drivers, and help pedestrians safely cross the street. The program was so successful, that it has been replicated in other cities across Bolivia.
