This is a quiet street alongside a canal in Amsterdam. Every 100 feet or so there is a ped crossing like this. The stripes are brick version of the triangle "shark’s teeth" that mean "yield" in the Netherlands.
Here’s the same crosswalk as the pedestrian would see it. Note that it is slightly raised.
This is the tram boarding area outside the Amsterdam Central railway station. Do you know where you should cross the tram tracks?
This crossing is on the outskirts of Utrecht. Note that the "shark’s teeth" face the red bike lane as well, indicating that the bikes also need to yield to peds.
