Is there a tag for a simple pedestrian crosswalk? The closest I can
find would be what is called a zebra crossing, but this is described
as an uncontrolled crossing, but then it describes the crossing as
having flashing amber globes controlling the crossing.
What about a painted crosswalk with no lighting? Here's a streetview
link to the crosswalk in front of my house: http://tinyurl.com/ybk4t6g
This is a truly uncontrolled crossing, which is very common in this area.
This one links to a streetview of what I would consider matching the
zebra crossing description: http://tinyurl.com/y8p4ex3
Wikipedia lists a Zebra crossing as possibly being just paint on the
road surface, and not necessarily having lights associated. Perhaps
the description of a Zebra crossing in the example section of the
Key:crossing page needs to be adjusted.
