It's a crossing controlled by orange or yellow flashing lights
It's a crossing at traffic lights where a green man symbol lets pedestrians know it's safe to cross
It's a raised crossing in the road that you aren't required to stop for, but allows for a safer place to stop if pedestrians do want to cross

Yielding at pedestrian crossings is a raised area on the road designed for crossing. Vehicles are not legally required to stop, but if a pedestrian wishes to cross, it provides a safer place for vehicles to stop and give way.

At pedestrian priority intersections, there is no requirement for vehicles to yield to pedestrians, but it is encouraged to "yield" first and allow pedestrians to cross whenever possible.
