A nearby city call these crossings as “Gora¹ Lanes”, an attempt to make walking fun, attractive, and accessible to more people.

From the screenshot² below, it’s something like an arty zebra (or “continental”) crossing, and I saw minimal use of crossing:markings=artwork in #OpenStreetMap, and taggable with crossing:markings=yes.

I wonder how you folks might tag it.

¹ - Gora is an acronym from “Green Open Reclaimed Access”

    Yeah, can you imagine the shit storm if someone rigged up traffic lights with some strobe effect and RGB LEDs to make driving, “fun, attractive, and accessible to more people.”

    In my cynicism I’ll venture that if pedestrians were required to carry insurance for collisions, insurance companies would not let these cross walks stick around for a hot 5 minutes.
