容易混淆

横断歩道 vs 横断歩道 (おうだんほどう - oudanhodou)

This word is often confused with other terms related to road crossings because of the various ways to describe different types of pedestrian areas or intersections.

Specifically refers to a marked pedestrian crossing (like a zebra crossing or crosswalk). It emphasizes the designated path for pedestrians across a road.

信号のない横断歩道を渡るときは、左右をよく確認しましょう。(When crossing a pedestrian crossing without a traffic light, make sure to look carefully left and right.)

横断歩道 vs 交差点 (こうさてん - kousaten)

While a crosswalk might be at an intersection, the two words are not interchangeable.

Refers to an intersection where roads meet. It's the general area where traffic merges or diverges, not specifically the pedestrian path.

その交差点はいつも渋滞しています。(That intersection is always congested.)

横断歩道 vs 歩道 (ほどう - hodou)

Both relate to pedestrians, but their functions are distinct.

This simply means a sidewalk or footpath – a path for pedestrians alongside a road, not across it.

歩道を歩くときは、自転車に注意してください。(When walking on the sidewalk, please be careful of bicycles.)

横断歩道 vs 通路 (つうろ - tsuuro)

Can be confused because it generally means a passage or pathway.

A general term for any passage, aisle, or pathway. It's much broader and doesn't specifically imply crossing a road.

非常の際は、通路をふさがないでください。(In case of emergency, please do not block the aisle.)

横断歩道 vs 横断 (おうだん - oudan)

This is the verb form of 'to cross' and can be mistaken for the specific noun 'crosswalk'.

This is the act of crossing something (a road, a river, etc.). When combined with ⁻歩道, it becomes the noun 'crosswalk'.

道路を横断する際は、十分に注意してください。(Please be very careful when crossing the road.)

小贴士

Learn the Kanji for Yokodan Hodō

Break down 横断歩道 (よこ • だん • ほ • どう): 横断 (よこだん) means 'crossing' (like crossing a street or continent) and 歩道 (ほどう) means 'sidewalk' or 'footpath'. Understanding the parts helps with recall.

Visualize a Pedestrian Crossing

When you hear 横断歩道, immediately picture a pedestrian crossing, often with white stripes. This visual association aids memory. Think of people walking across.

Practice Saying Yokodan Hodō Out Loud

Say 横断歩道 (yokodan hodō) multiple times. Focus on the pronunciation. The 'h' sound in hodō is like the 'h' in 'hat'.

Contextual Examples for Yokodan Hodō

Here's an example: 「横断歩道を渡りましょう。」 (Let's cross the pedestrian crossing.). Notice the particle を (o) indicating the object of the verb.

Another Yokodan Hodō Example

「横断歩道の手前で止まってください。」 (Please stop before the pedestrian crossing.). 手前 (tema-e) means 'just before' or 'this side of'.

Don't Confuse with 歩道 (Hodō)

While 歩道 (hodō) means sidewalk, 横断歩道 specifically refers to the pedestrian crossing on the road. They are related but distinct.

Pedestrian Safety in Japan

In Japan, pedestrians generally have the right of way at 横断歩道. Drivers are expected to stop. This is a key part of Japanese traffic culture.

Use Flashcards for Kanji Practice

Create flashcards for 横断歩道. On one side, write the Kanji, and on the other, the hiragana (よこだんほどう) and English definition (pedestrian crossing).

Related Vocabulary: 信号 (Shingō)

Often, 横断歩道 are accompanied by 信号 (しんごう), which means traffic light. So you might hear 「信号のある横断歩道」 (pedestrian crossing with a traffic light).

Listen for Yokodan Hodō in Media

Pay attention to when you hear 横断歩道 in Japanese dramas, news, or songs. Hearing it in natural contexts helps reinforce its meaning and usage. Even in traffic reports.

词源

From '横断' (oudan, 'crossing, traversing') + '歩道' (hodou, 'footpath, sidewalk'). '横断' itself is a compound of '横' (ou, 'side, horizontal') and '断' (dan, 'cut off, severe'). '歩道' combines '歩' (ho, 'walk') and '道' (dou, 'road, path').

原始含义： A road for walking across.

Sino-Japanese (kango)

文化背景

In Japan, pedestrians generally have the right of way at <b>yokodan hodō</b>, and drivers are expected to stop. It's common to see dedicated crossing guards, especially near schools, ensuring safety. Awareness of pedestrian safety is very high, reflecting a strong cultural emphasis on harmony and collective well-being. Always make eye contact with drivers before crossing, even if you have the right of way.
