A zebra crossing sign is a traffic warning sign used to alert drivers that they are approaching a pedestrian crossing marked with distinctive white stripes on the road. The sign is typically triangular with a white background, red border, and an icon depicting a pedestrian crossing on the striped path, commonly known as a zebra crossing. Its purpose is to make drivers slow down, be alert, and be prepared to stop for pedestrians who have priority while crossing. Such signs are often installed near schools, residential areas, shopping zones, and busy pedestrian crossings to enhance road safety. In the UK, the zebra crossing sign is an official warning sign fully compliant with road safety regulations, designed to be highly visible and durable under various weather conditions. Pedestrians have absolute priority at these crossings, and drivers are legally required to give way when a pedestrian steps onto the crossing.
