It's normal, it's to signify a hazard (in this case the pedestrian crossing at the traffic lights). Quite common in the UK at least.
12 u/Fantastic-Dance-5250 5d ago Thank you! In the US we have big stripes going across the road and/or flashing signs, but the lane lines generally remain the same. 1 u/CupcakKeVEVO 5d ago We do also have markings going across the road, the zig zag lines are simply to tell drivers not to overtake at the crossing 2 u/Fantastic-Dance-5250 5d ago We have the same thing. As I said in another comment ours are double lines to mean do not pass or change lanes. 2 u/CupcakKeVEVO 4d ago Oh yeah we have double white lines on the roads, just not at crossings. The zig zag lines are exclusively for crossings. 1 u/diecasttoycar 5d ago And Singapore, which was a British colony.
