Take a moment to consider that this gesture, used by pedestrians at zebra crossings and by drivers to signal for people to cross, might just be our national symbol for “Cheers, mate.”

That’s an interesting perspective! The hand gesture at zebra crossings does convey a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect between drivers and pedestrians. It’s like a silent acknowledgment that says, “I see you, and I appreciate you.” It’s fascinating how such a simple gesture can encapsulate a sense of community and friendliness. It’s almost like a universal signal of goodwill. Do you think this gesture varies in meaning depending on different cultures, or is it pretty much the same across the board?
