This is one of my favourite stories. This is a small pedestrian bridge. When the bridge was built (made from concrete) one of the giraffes from the zoo walked over here and left its footprints. Caretakers then decided to leave the bridge as it was and add a sign. It is unknown if the bridge was ever again crossed by a giraffe, but the "giraffe crossing" sign has been there ever since.
