That's not really the whole picture though is it. It might work for the

Yes, zebra crossings don't work in high pedestrian traffic densities.

It looks like they're only used in less than 40mph zones too.

If Andrew wants to scale up his design we've been quoted GBP90k for a
pedestrian controlled crossing onto the public open space here. It's daft
really because a zebra crossing would do but the traffic moves too fast for
one.
