"Pelican Crossing"----and more

There are some interesting road crossing signs in England! I wish I had pictures of all of them.

1. "Zebra Crossing"-----This is a pedestrian crossing with black and white painted stripes across the road.

2. "Pelican Crossing"-----This one is the common name for "Pedestrian Light Controlled Crossing", which is a pedestrian crossing with a push button on a pole that controls the walk or don't walk signal (green man or red man).

3. "Toucan Crossing"-----This is for cyclists and pedestrians. There is a green cyclist symbol as well as a green man symbol for crossing.

4. "Pegasus Crossing"---This signal button is mounted higher on the posts for the convenience of horse riders. The red/green symbols are horses.

5."Puffin Crossing"---This is the common name for "Pedestrian User-Friendly Intelligent". There is a curbside detector that determines when the "walk" symbol is no longer needed.

6. "Migratory Toad Crossing" ---This one is only on specific roads during February to May.

7. "Elderly People Crossing"---The sign shows a bent-over elderly man and woman using canes.

Two of my favorite signs are "Slow Race Horses" (sort of like our "Slow Children at Play") and "Cat and Duck Crossing".
