These have been popping up a lot in Romanian cities to increase visibility apperantly. I was curious to see if this is something local or if it’s in other countries as well
Yes, but there aren’t a lot of them in Italy. I guess it’s because they are more expensive than the standard ones.
Anyway, I find them very dangerous for bicycles and motorcycles because they become slippery when they are wet. Source: me. The wheels of my motorcycle slipped when I passed over them after it rained.
Yes.
We also elevate them to make sure the idiot drivers are properly reminded to slow down, especially in school area.
Why wouldn’t they?
We have [some of these in the Netherlands](https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=regenboogzebrapad&iax=images&ia=images).
We have quite a few of them in Germany, first time I saw one was probably early 2000s. But they are usually not as condensed, every single one I saw really goes overboard with the red and paints a couple meters extra.
I’ve also seen just a unified red solid color with small white vertical stripes at the borders instead of broad horizontal ones in the middle
UK. Yes. Ours are white stripes on a black background.
We also have pelican and puffin crossings. Cute naming, right?
Are you asking about white stribes plus another colour?
Couldn’t tell, most zebra crossing in Greece are almost fully faded out 🫣
Yes, here in Brazil! But it’s not colour red, it’s black and white.
No, I’ve never seen any here in Sweden.
They are no longer legal in Slovakia. They used to give drivers the impression that they were more important than crossings without underpainting.
I think you can see them here and there in Poland, but for example [in Warsaw red and white zebras are the default crossing colour for bikes](https://imgur.com/a/In3ttZv) to make them more visible. It’s really helpful and now that our bike infrastructure got much, much better, they’re pretty much everywhere.
I also thought it’s only in Romania, but no; it’s a European-Union thing.
Yeah, but there are places where red has completely faded
yes, in Italy
Damn i was so sure this was in my country 😀 then i looked at OP’s country … 😀 I am shocked to see this is not the same for all of us. Didn’t even notice this while travelling
Lots of those in Spain too.
red ones? No
in Poland yes, it’s super common
In Ireland it’s the other way around. Usually it’s just a dent in the curb. People cross the streets wherever no matter the light – if there’s no car, you go.
Never seen them painted red. Smart!
Yea
Are you asking for zebra crossings in general, are you asking about the island in the middle or are you asking about the red color underneath the zebra.
In Switzerland most zebra crossing are yellow in color (yellow being the color used for all road markings concerning non-cars like bus ways, cycle paths, etc.). In 30 Zones Zebra crossings are not needed and crossing is allowed everywhere. Generally crossing is permitted if there is no Zebra crossing which is reachable in a reasonable distance (except on motorways obv.)
The islands in the middle are used when the road is wide, has a lot of traffic or has higher speeds.
Coloring the base red is something I’ve never seen though in Switzerland
Yes for some time, and they can be tall and square as much as they want to fuck up your suspension.
Found it.
I knew it was Romania at first glance. Its in the city of Suceava.
