how do they paint zebra crossings?

Answer 1

With a stencil - a large piece of plastic, cardboard, or lightweight wood with the shape you want carved out of it (or the word you want to paint, if you want to get sophisticated).

You lay the stencil down, paint with a spray, and the excess paint winds up on the stencil, leaving only the shape you want on the road.

British people have such cool terms for different types of crosswalks - Puffins, toucans, lollipop man (the crossing guard).

Alicat: A PEedestrian LIght CONtrolled doesn't always work for the intellectually challenged unless it has a well designed Pedestrian User-Friendly INterface. (Surely you've seen these people - they're the ones that push the button while looking longinly to the East across the intersection, and are shocked when the "Walk" sign to the South starts flashing. They become trapped, wandering round and round the intersection for years until someone mercifully strikes them down with a double decker bus.)
