Zebra Crossing and Belisha Beacons


This is the zebra crossing that the eagle eyed amongst you may remember from the winter photographs I took from the back of our house.

It also has Belisha Beacon traffic signals which flash yellow to warn motorists they are approaching a pedestrian crossing.

This type of crossing "was named after Leslie Hore-Belisha (1893–1957), the Minister of Transport who in 1934 added beacons to pedestrian crossings, marked by large metal studs in the road surface. These crossings were later painted in black and white stripes, thus are known as zebra crossings." Wikipedia
