This tags describes the presence of zebra road markings at a crossing, characteristic light (usually white) stripes.
Zebra markings are named after the animal due to the resemblance to their stripes.
How to tag
Add crossing_ref=zebra to the highway=crossing node . Also add the appropriate crossing=* tag-value (e.g. crossing=zebra or crossing=traffic_signals).
Optionally, add it to the highway=footway way in combination with footway=crossing.
Variations in road markings
Zebra crossing predominantly feature fairly wide white stripes perpendicular to the path of the crossing pedestrians, alternating with stretches of unmarked road. However, sometimes a different colour or pattern is used while remaining close to the archetypical zebra crossing design. As long as they are recognized as zebra markings crossing_ref=zebra still applies.
Common variants are yellow stripes for temporary (but legal) road markings, and stripes coloured with the canonical colours of the rainbow in their common order (usually as a sign of protest or formal municipally backed support for the LGBT community).
