    Or pedestrians might think they are real and get run over because they aren’t up to proper spec for a crossing.

      Besides being painted in reflective road paint, which these ones are, what else would cause a pedestrian to be run over?

      As long as it looks like a crosswalk, and drivers can see it, I’m not sure what else you would need.

        Depending on location there’s additional stuff, mostly signage notifying drivers. With great variation in requirements depending on the road.

          Signage is definitely important. You can’t just throw shit down on the pavement and have it be treated as a sign itself.
