Zebra Crossings Information
Thursday, October 9th, 2008Zebra crossings are a type of pedestrian crossing and are widely used in many places around the world.
The look of a zebra crossing is characterised by horizontal stripes when crossing the road or vertical when in a car coming to a stop infront of them.
That then explains the term, named after the zebra, alternately a light colour white in the UK and a dark one, painted black in the UK. (or totally left unpainted if surface of the road itself is of a dark colour).
The stripes or markings are roughly about 400 to 600 millimetres wide.
A good point to make to everyone………….Pedestrians always have right of way on a zebra crossing.
