I thought that controlled means that their is signage / indication of some form that says a driver has to stop to allow pedestrians to cross; while uncontrolled basically equals unmarked - there is provision made (gutter ramps etc) to allow people to easily cross the road, but there are no crossing markings of any sort eg https://www.google.com/maps/@-28.070894,153.4363207,3a,75y,302.12h,81.73t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1s9ZbzIxzGlFkj8GrFmiQ38Q!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D9ZbzIxzGlFkj8GrFmiQ38Q%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D336.35266%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100 , however a driver must still stop to allow pedestrians to cross? Now we may (yet again!) be getting caught up in the one-word-different-meanings-worldwide saga, but, in Australia at least, "zebra" crossings (parallel alternating black & white stripes crossing the road) are controlled - they signify a pedestrian crossing & drivers must stop & give way to any pedestrians on or approaching the crossing. So are there different rules elsewhere, so that you can say "zebra is marked but uncontrolled"? Thanks Graeme
