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"

What is green, or open or reclaimed about this? Let alone all of these?

I'm more wondering what the fuck is "nearby" about it

I think with that OP referenced a city close to where they live
