Pedestrian Crossing Studs
In the UK, the area in which pedestrians should cross at pelican crossings is marked out by a series of markers. Occasionally these are painted as squares on the road but more often a metal stud is used. These are usually square and made from unpainted steel or aluminum.

Famous quotes containing the words pedestrian, crossing and/or studs:
“However global I strove to become in my thinking over the past twenty years, my sons kept me rooted to an utterly pedestrian view, intimately involved with the most inspiring and fractious passages in human development. However unconsciously by now, motherhood informs every thought I have, influencing everything I do. More than any other part of my life, being a mother taught me what it means to be human.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“This is the Night Mail crossing the Border,
Bringing the cheque and the postal order,
Letters for the rich, letters for the poor,
The shop at the corner, the girl next door.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“The machine invades me all day.”
—Sharon Atkins, U.S. receptionist. As quoted in Working, book 2, by Studs Terkel (1973)
