==In popular culture== A zebra crossing appears on the cover of [[The Beatles]]' ''[[Abbey Road]]'' album. The cover made the crossing a tourist attraction, and it has been incorporated into the [[Abbey Road Studios]] logo. Since the Abbey Road photo was taken, zigzag lines at the kerb and in the centre of the road have been added to all zebra crossings. [[English Heritage]] has given this crossing Grade II [[listed building]] status.<ref>{{cite news | date = 22 December 2010 | title = Beatles' Abbey Road zebra crossing given listed status | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12059385| work = [[BBC Online]] | access-date = 2015-03-08 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20101230090131/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12059385| archive-date= 30 December 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> There is also a tongue-in-cheek reference to zebra crossings in the science-fiction comedy ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'' by English author [[Douglas Adams]], in reference to Man using the improbable creature called the Babel fish as proof of the ''non''-existence of God; the novel says, "Man then goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed at the next zebra crossing." The [[La Paz traffic zebras]] are a team of young people who dress in zebra costumes and dance in the streets of [[La Paz, Bolivia]], in order to make drivers and pedestrians aware of traffic rules.
