A nearby city call these crossings as "Gora¹ Lanes", an attempt to make walking fun, attractive, and accessible to more people.

From the screenshot² below, it's something like an arty zebra (or "continental") crossing, and I saw minimal use of crossing:markings=artwork in #OpenStreetMap, and taggable with crossing:markings=yes.

I wonder how you folks might tag it.

¹ - Gora is an acronym from "Green Open Reclaimed Access"

Stuff like this bothers me. If cars, pedestrians, or cyclists use the crossing and the road that it crosses over, painted lines and way finding markers need to be consistent and clear for safety.

It's fine to paint a crossing like this at an entryway to a museum or library, but not on a road.
