Tiger crossing

A tiger crossing is a variation of a zebra crossing used in the United Kingdom. It is painted yellow and black as opposed to the white and black used on a zebra crossing. It allows cyclists to cross the road in a central area of the road without dismounting, and motorists must give way to both cyclists and pedestrians.

Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire experimented with tiger crossings in 2006 and 2007, but replaced them with Toucan crossings.
