Zebra crossings have black and white stripes across the road and flashing amber globes mounted on a pole marked with alternate black and white stripes. The pedestrians have the right of way once their foot is on the crossing. However, pedestrians must make sure that all the traffic has stopped before crossing and they should keep looking and listening as they cross.
Zig-zag markings are laid on both the approaches and the exits to the crossing. The zig-zags ban waiting or parking, prohibit vehicles from overtaking each other and warn pedestrians of the increased risk of crossing in the zig-zag area.
Zebra crossings are not suitable for roads with a speed limit greater than 30 mph.
