    What are crosswalks called in England?

    Question #14734. Asked by cow. (Nov 30 01 3:31 AM)


    Gnomon

    A pedestrian crossing is a place on a road or street where lines have been marked for pedestrians to cross and some sort of markings or lights are there to make the traffic stop. It might be a traffic lights with red green and orange or it might be just an orange flashing light.

    I don't know what a crosswalk is.

    Crosswalk is the North American word for pedestrian crossing. Not all crosswalks
    here have lights, but all have markings on the road, and usually a sign. If a
    driver sees someone standing at the crosswalk, lights or no lights they are suppose
    to stop, as the pedestrian has the right of way in this situation.

    Zebra Crossings are uncontrolled. Pelican Crossings are usually the same as Zebra Crossings but are controlled by lights. The name comes loosely from PE-dsetrian LI-ght CON-trolled

    According to KryssTal : English Usage in the UK and USA

    It is simply called a Pedestrian Crossing
