Have you ever seen a crossing with lights AND zebra stripes?This is a very popular situation in Poland. I knew there'd be at least one. :)
It's common in the USA too.
OK, so let me ask this. Do zebra stripes on their own have any legal significance? Can you have zebra stripes without lights or are they only ever present with lights?
In *my* experience in the USA, stripes are basically there to give drivers a visual clue to look out for pedestrians and not to block the crosswalk, and thus to inform crossing pedestrians where on the pavement is safest. Of course these marking and the relevant laws are decided on a local level, so officially there may be many differing legal meanings to the stripes. J
