Then perhaps it was a good think it was kept, as at least you found it funny. Since, as far as I know, US crosswalks are not marked with broad black and white stripes across the road, it wouldn't have made much sense if it had just substituted crosswalk for zebra crossing, and it wouldn't have been funny.
