I forgot about the 'ped-xing' thing! I was raised calling them 'zebra crossings' (the American way) because that's what my (Irish) mother told me they were called. Never got an odd look when I used that term... I swear I've heard others use it. But you are absolutely right about 'ped-xing.' That is way common. Sadly, though. sidewalks (er... 'pavements') are in short supply in most US cities once you get out of the city centre. We really are a culture in love with automobiles.
