More pedantically, he was the Minister of Transport when they were introduced. "Belisha beacons" is the name givcen to the orange lollipop-like beacons which ar epositioned either side of zebra crossings. Zebra crossings are so called because they are black and white like zebras (pronounced zebras not zebras as the Americans do). No idea why pelican crossings are so called.
