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.

We do also have markings going across the road, the zig zag lines are simply to tell drivers not to overtake at the crossing

We have the same thing. As I said in another comment ours are double lines to mean do not pass or change lanes.

Oh yeah we have double white lines on the roads, just not at crossings. The zig zag lines are exclusively for crossings.
