And even though I know from experience what they are, a humorous visual
image for me too, thanks Chuck!
We have puffin crossings too. And signs warning of toad crossings, but they
are different. They *are* for free roaming wildlife!

Citizens of Massachusetts might surmise that a "roundabout" is a "traffic
circle" (unknown in most of the rest of the US) but would likely have to
surmise that zebra and pelican crossings must be for free roaming wildlife
in the zoo.
I know what they are now but they certainly formed a humorous visual image
when I first encountered the terms.
