A zebra crossing has black and white stripes with orange flashing beacons at each end.
They give pedestrians right of way once their foot is on the crossing.
Pedestrians must make sure all traffic has stopped before crossing, and keep looking and listening as they cross.
Many people ask for zebra crossings to be changed to puffin crossings, believing them to be safer. Research shows the safety record of both types is very similar and that, in some cases, zebra crossings are safer.
