A live, streaming webcam of the famous crosswalk outside Abbey Road. Turn it on for a few minutes, and you're guaranteed to see tourists risking their lives and holding up traffic for the "Beatles shot."

Haha...took less than 30 seconds.

Instantly. Literally instantly. A car honked at them.

They were in the middle of it when the video came up.

OMG! Someone almost got themselves made into roadkill.

[Parrothead]

What do the zig-zaggy lines mean?

HA! Twice in the first minute, then a constant stream of them. Sheeeesh!

I can't imagine how annoying that must be for people who need to drive that way to get to work, home, etc.

What do the zig-zaggy lines mean?

According to the commenters here they mean No Stopping (and/or that a pedestrian crossing is coming up [which seems to be debatable]). I guess the same as the No Stopping or Standing signs they use around where I live.

25 seconds from when I loaded it, but the ones doing it were standing there waiting for just the right moment.

Not as exciting at 11 PM I suppose, though the flashing lights are pretty hypnotizing.

What do the zig-zaggy lines mean?

from what I saw I assume it means Stop Crosswalk. all of the cars buses and trucks stopped at the crosswalk even when there were no pedestrians.

no Beatles shot at 10am

Zigzags mean no parking & no overtaking of vehicles on the crossing or within the zigzag lines

[Caveat Emptor]

I saw what looked like a dad and his two kids. The kids were probably thinking "WTF is Dad doing? Playing red light, green light?!?!"
