Parallel crossing (sorry for Leicester link - was first one that came up):
https://leicestershirehighways.org.uk/traffic-schemes/parallel-crossing/
"Parallel crossings enable cyclists to cross a road safely and with the same level of priority as a zebra crossing gives a pedestrian. The crossing looks similar to a zebra crossing but also includes a cycling crossing area which is parallel to the zebra crossing area, this is marked by broken white lines."
But in practice, you're right, some cunt will have no idea about them and drive through.
Highway Code rule 195, if you're interested - "you MUST give way when a pedestrian or cyclist has moved onto a crossing". So peds and cyclists have priority, but with a massive pinch of salt in the real world.
