It's trickier than most people think. The term "crosswalk" is American English -- it's known as a pedestrian crossing or zebra crossing in other countries. (another oft confused word is "pavement", which means sidewalk in British English, but refers to the hard surface of the road in American English) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_crossing#Distinctions_by_region https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_crossing#Distinctio... The markings also cause confusion. To the non-American mind, does "crosswalk" refer to the crossing with the two parallel lines or the one with the stripes? Whereas with "zebra crossing", there's no ambiguity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_crossing#/media/File:Crosswalk_styles_(en).svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_crossing#/media/Fil...
