a marked place where people walk across a street
A crosswalk is a designated area on a street where pedestrians can safely cross from one side to the other. It is usually marked with painted lines, stripes, or other signs to make it clearly visible to both pedestrians and drivers. Crosswalks are often found at intersections or other busy spots, where foot traffic is common. They help to guide pedestrians across the road safely, often with traffic signals or signs that control the flow of vehicles to give people time to cross.
