 Zebra crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The crossings were originally marked by beacons (see below) and parallel rows of studs, but stripes were soon added for the sake of visibility.
The zebra crossing was first used (after some isolated experiments) at 1000 sites in the UK in 1949 (the original form being alternating strips of blue and yellow), and a 1951 measure introduced them into law.
In the United Kingdom the crossing is marked with beacons on either side of the road, called Belisha beacons.

 LED beacon's light relief | Auto Express News | News | Auto Express
The Belisha Beacon - introduced more than 70 years ago - now has a 'Mohican'-style ring, brighter lamps and smart sensors to improve visibility.
This flashes in sync with a new super-bright LED inside the yellow globe, and it is all controlled by a sensor that checks surrounding light levels continuously.
If it's dark, the lights are dimmed slightly, but if it is sunny or there's a lot of background glare, the power is boosted so the beacons always stand out.
