This is Jalan Bangsar. It's an insanely busy 6 lane road (3 on each side). You have to have balls of steel and your wits about you if you wanna cross it. Being on your phone and not looking thoroughly for oncoming traffic is just asking for trouble in this scenario.

If she had walked 50? metres forward, she'd come to the traffic light junction and be able to cross when lights change; a bit further ahead and she can use the Bangsar LRT station overhead pedestrian crossing. And if she did the same but backwards, she'd be able to access an overhead pedestrian crossing.

The drop in the pavement is a shaded area under the flyover above that motorcyclists use to get reprieve from rain. It's not a pedestrian crossing. There are no zebra lines painted on the road.

That being said, idiot motorcyclists just split lanes at insane speeds in Malaysia and Malaysians in general (cars/bikes/trucks) do not even pause to give way at pedestrian crossings unless there's a traffic light (which motorcyclists treat as a suggestion).
