EN: a place for crossing, a crosswalk
This is your best friend when facing EDSA: the pedestrian lane. It's that magical zebra-striped patch on the road where cars are *supposed* to stop for you. It's the designated spot to play real-life Frogger. The word itself suggests a place where many people 'will cross'.
From 'tawid' (to cross), with reduplication and suffix '-an' indicating a place.
Often used interchangeably with 'tawiran'. 'Pagtatawiran' can sometimes imply the future or habitual act of crossing at a specific place.
