A zebra crossing is a place on the road where people can cross safely. It's called a "zebra" crossing because it has black and white stripes that look like a zebra's stripes.
When you come to a zebra crossing, you can step onto the stripes and the cars and trucks have to stop to let you cross. This is because people are more important than cars and we want to keep them safe.
You always have to look both ways before crossing, even if you're on a zebra crossing. And if you're walking with someone else, you should hold their hand and cross together.
Remember, zebra crossings are special places on the road where it's safe for people to cross.
