It doesn't matter. The real question is how did the chicken cross. An American chicken crossing the road will stop when a car approaches and wait for it to pass. A Moroccan chicken will, barring an imminent collision, just keep going and assume the car will go behind it.
Marrakech probably has half the stop signs and traffic lights of an American city the same size. While there are highways that connect the city to others throughout Morocco, there is no highway within Marrakech itself. So maybe it's because traffic only goes so fast. Maybe it's because the cars are smaller and more manueverable, as are the motorcycles, bicycles and the occasional donkey carts. I can't say why, but there are distinct cultural assumptions at work that are dead giveaway.
Tis true. So I can't tell you where said chicken is going, but I can tell you where it's from.
