Pedestrian crossing

A place on a road or street designated for pedestrians to cross, often marked and controlled by signs or traffic signals.

Crosswalk: A marked part of a roadway designated for pedestrians to cross. Road markings make the crossing area visible and define where pedestrians are expected to cross.
Zebra crossing: A pedestrian crossing marked by contrasting stripes across the roadway. Its conspicuous stripes identify a crossing without requiring a traffic signal.
Pedestrian overpass: A bridge that carries pedestrians over a road or other obstacle. It separates pedestrians from traffic vertically instead of bringing them across the roadway at grade.
Pedestrian safety: The protection of people walking from injury and harm in the built environment. Crossing visibility, timing, and separation from traffic affect pedestrian risk.
Pedestrian signal: A traffic signal that indicates when pedestrians may cross a roadway. Its indications assign crossing time and help separate pedestrian movement from vehicle traffic.
Pelican crossing: A signal-controlled pedestrian crossing that gives pedestrians a timed period to cross. This crossing type uses pedestrian-operated signals to stop traffic.
Pedestrian underpass: A passage that carries pedestrians beneath a road or other obstacle. It provides a grade-separated route rather than a marked surface crossing.
Universal design: The design of environments and products to be usable by people with diverse abilities. Accessible crossings apply its principles through ramps, tactile cues, and usable signal timing.
Traffic signal: A device that uses visual signals to control road traffic. Vehicle signals can stop or release traffic while pedestrians use a crossing.
Toucan crossing: A signal-controlled crossing designed for pedestrians and cyclists to cross together. It adapts crossing signals and space for people walking or cycling.
