A kid walked past the yellow and black stripes on the road and asked his dad:
Kid: "Dad, what do you call these yellow and black stripes on the road?"
Dad: "Wow! Good question there, I know that they are meant to warn drivers of the hump/hazard but never thought of its name. So, what do you think it's called?"
Kid: "Hmmmm ....The black and white striped path is known as the Zebra crossing, so the yellow and black striped path is known as the grrrrrraaaaooooo .... TIGER Crossing!"
Well, is it really called the Tiger Crossing?
I can't really find the answer in the LTA and One.Motoring websites ... but Tiger Crossing really exists in the U.K., take a look at this site: http://www.camcycle.org.uk/newsletters/71/article12.html

Zebra Crossing?
I was trying to teach my 4y.o. kid about Zebra Crossing, so as I stopped my car before the Zebra crossing and I had a brief Q & A with my kid:
Dad:"What is in front of us?"
4y.o.:"I duno ..."
Dad:"It is a Zebra Crossing."
4y.o.:"Daddy, you are very funny ... there is no Zebra Crossing ... there are many PEOPLE crossing."
Yes! The kid was right, there were indeed many people crossing the road (using the Zebra crossing).
