In 2010 which famous pedestrian 'zebra' crossing was the first to be given UK Heritage listed status, normally only given to buildings and monuments?
Zebra crossing found in Australia, Iceland, Malaysia, India, New Zealand and the United States. A zebra crossing appears on the cover of The Beatles' "Abbey Road" album. It made it a tourist attraction, and it has been incorporated into the Abbey Road Studios logo. Since the Abbey Road photo was taken, zigzag lines at the kerb and in the centre of the road have been added to all zebra crossings. The band Shriekback's album "Sacred City" contains an entire song, "Beatles Zebra Crossing?", about the Abbey Road zebra crossing and its status as a tourist attraction. English Heritage has given this crossing
Zebra crossing pedestrian presence (690 observations) were compared. Three out of four drivers maintained the same speed or accelerated and only one out of four slowed down or braked. The study concluded that encounters between cars and pedestrians at the zebra crossing were critical situations in which the driver had to be influenced before he reached the decision zone at 50 to 40 m before the zebra crossing, in order to prevent "signalling by speed" behaviour. In Switzerland yellow stripes are used for pedestrian crossings. Unlike with yellow "tiger crossings" in the UK, however, cyclists are required to dismount to cross. In
