Non-profit association Centre for Urban Justice (Zentrum fir Urban Gerechtegkeet) estimates that one third of pedestrian crossings in Luxembourg city don’t respect the highway code.

The association, whose main objectives are administrative transparency and open dialogue, carried out a project titled . About one third of pedestrian crossings in the capital (475 in total) were determined to be non-compliant with Luxembourg’s highway code.

The data is the result of a  by 20 active volunteers participating between June and August 2021. The participants used a custom-made application on their phone which presented them pedestrian crossings in the capital on a map using satellite imagery. The volunteers were then asked to assess whether there were parking spots within 5 metres of the crossing in question.

The non-profit association admits that no assurances can be made about the data as it has been crowd-sourced but it highlights that the result points to a general lack of safety for pedestrians in the capital.
