A zebra crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing marked with white stripes on the road, resembling the pattern of a zebra. These crossings are designed to provide a safe place for pedestrians to cross streets, making them more visible to drivers. In many countries, vehicles are required to stop when pedestrians are waiting to cross. Zebra crossings are often found near schools, parks, and busy urban areas where foot traffic is high. They may be accompanied by additional signage or traffic lights to enhance safety. The use of zebra crossings helps reduce accidents and promotes safer interactions between pedestrians and vehicles.
