A zebra crossing typically consists of long lines to alert pedestrians and vehicles, but in Japan, there are a few places with zebra crossings that only have two lines, much shorter than usual. One example in Osaka, touted as the 'shortest zebra crossing in Japan,' can be crossed in just a few steps. The placement of zebra crossings and traffic lights in Japan depends on factors like traffic flow, accidents, and terrain to ensure pedestrian safety. Various locations like Kyoto and Shizuoka also have zebra crossings with only two white lines, all designed to enhance pedestrian safety through special arrangements of traffic lights and zebra crossings.
