And with all this, you never heard or saw "pedestrian crossing" (ped xing) or "crosswalk."

Yet you couldn't google "American word for zebra crossing." :roll: That's pretty funny.

Where did I say I hadn't heard of a crosswalk? Quote my post please.

Not to mention all the American TV shows shown in the UK. But if I don't understand or know something I come across, yes, I Google it. It's common sense.

Common sense also dictates that many of the statements you freaked out about were jokes. Common sense also suggests you were not using any common sense when posting in this thread. In other words...

I didn't see jokes, I saw people making lame comments about zebras which looked like the poster was genuinely confused. I don't rate anybody here with that level of sarcasm or satire so assumed the obvious.

How about if they just gave us a white line object one square wide? The barrier object already in game can be placed on roads, boardwalk sections, grass and cement so they can already do it. With a white line we can make our own crosswalks, lane markers, loading zones, football fields, etc.

Idea of the thread, right here. :thumbup:

Good idea! It appears this thread has turned into one about what a zebra crossing is and what people call it in their country. ;-)

...or even just a white 1 pixel square... putting any number of these together could produce many number of things/shapes/patterns and get the 'creative juices' flowing. Plus it wouldn't be as restrictive as a single line although it may get annoying if you're wanting to just create a single long line lol 8)
