zebra crossings

Pedestrian road stripes

Zebra crossings is the plural of zebra crossing, a marked pedestrian crossing with alternating dark and light stripes painted across the road.

Vehicles must yield to pedestrians in these crossings.

The term is primarily British; Americans typically say crosswalk: Wait for the light before using the zebra crossing.
