My impression is that this is mostly an American phenomenon.
Off-topic true story: when I was a young PhD student, I spent a few
weeks in Berkeley (California, USA). While walking to the university
campus, I passed a road marking saying "XING PED" (see also
https://xkcd.com/781/). Every day I passed there and I couldn't figure
out what it meant. Until at some point I understood that it meant
"pedestrian crossing".
