Is zebra crossing a UK thing or is it broader than that?

In what sense? They are very much a thing in Germany and other parts of Europe, success in stopping cars varies though.

Sorry. The name itself “zebra” in the states we just call it a “crosswalk”

Yeah, most of our cross walks in the US have two lines. Basically making a path to walk within. In Europe and other countries they often have lines in the other direction to walk on, like on that Beatles album (if your old enough to get that reference).
