Sorry, no, the ones with flashing lights on poles are the zebras. Belisha beacons, we used to call them, after the Minister of Transport who brought zebras in (though I don't know if that's still in common use), are just there to alert drivers to the crossing's existence, rather than to control traffic. By 'with lights' I meant the ones that are coordinated with traffic lights, where you press a button and wait for the red figure to turn green.
