I often get asked about UK pedestrian crossing by learners and even full licence holders, so it appears it is a common area where people lack knowledge, in this video I address questions on pedestrian crossings such as:
- What is the difference between all the crossings (Puffin, Pelican, Toucan, Equestrian/Pegasus, Zebra)
- What does flashing amber mean?
- what do the white zig zag lines mean?
I hope this video help you to understand pedestrian crossings more, but if you have any further questions about them then please leave a comment.

To summarize: Pelican - designed only for pedestrians Toucan - designed for pedestrians and cyclists (two-can) Puffin: >Intelligent crossing >Has sensors >Only stops traffic for as long as it needs to >Can cancel requests if it detects the pedestrian has walked away Pegasus: A modified crossing made accessible to mounted horse riders, they have buttons two metres above the ground.

I've never understood why they introduced the flashing amber. The original lights, red, red and amber together then green was fine. After all, green only means go if it's safe which is exactly the same as flashing amber. That said, that was a very good explanation from you.

Here are some interesting facts: In america (my home country), the man is white instead of green. Most crossings in america ususally show a 30 or 15 second timer when the light turns to red, and is also flashing until the lights turn to yellow A lot of drivers in the UK always seem to park on the zigzag lines, but a lot of them usually like to park on bus stops, hence the reason why some buses have to stop on the road. If a bus stop was actually spotted on the pedestrian crossing, then it is possible that cars on the other side would have to stop for both pedestrians and the bus

@UKDrivingTest 3 года назад

Do any of the lights in US have sensors? When I have visited California and Florida the lights were dreadful, I remember one where a red light was showing for the driver for what felt like 5 minutes in the middle of the night and no traffic in sight. It is however handy that the pedestrian crossing have the timer displayed so you know how long until the light changes.

@UKDrivingTest 3 года назад

Regarding zig-zag lines I guess it depends where you visited, possible in busy cities people illegal and dangerous park on them, cities like London and Manchester. But in the large majority of the country it does not happen very often at all. A bus would not stop on the pedestrian crossing, the bus stop would be placed a few hundred yards away from any crossing to avoid any potential issues.

The Pelican Crossing was introduced in 1969, the Puffin Crossing is effectively an upgrade of the Pelican Crossing using modern technology as described in the video, although new Pelicans have not been installed, existing ones can still be seen in operation in some places, which shows that Pelican Crossings have withstood the test of time, unlike the Panda Crossings which they replaced. Panda Crossings were decommissioned virtually overnight.

The zebra crossing are replacing the standard cross walks in CA. They cost a lot more to paint and keep up the paint but it's CA, they don't care about tax payer money there.

@12fishcake Год назад

Wondered why all these crossings were named after random birds and why the spelling is wrong lol Also never heard of a pufin crossing before my theory course I'm currently on, I presumed they were just more modern pelican crossings. Said course wasn't particularly clear on the exact differences between the two so this video was particularly helpful for me. Thanks for not only the clear explanation, but the additional detail about each one, really helped my confidence going forward. Last thing I'd want to do is put someone on foot at risk in particular.

@ROCKINGMAN Год назад

Equestrian crossing is more correct, for this type of crossing as Pegasus was a flying horse he could fly across and wouldn't have need for a crossing. There is also DUC crossing... Dick User interface Crossing....where someone doesn't obey correct procedure and just runs across in front of traffic.

@Gentian-y4h 7 месяцев назад

You are “approaching” a traffic light red and amber is showing , what should you do? 1) carry on if the crossing is clear? 2) stop and wait for green light? 3) give way to pedestrians waiting to cross? 4) give way to pedestrians on the crossing?

@honestcommenterseany441 5 месяцев назад

Right can anyone tell me the answer to this question? I took my test in 1982. And I was told that if the lights are on red and nobody is near or around then as I was advised at that time is that you don’t have to stop. Only if someone is near or approaching the crossing. I know that was a good while ago. I must add. This is if the lights are on red. ?

@heathstjohn6775 Год назад

Although I think it unwise to do so, isn't it the case that cars need only stop at a zebra crossing if the pedestrian has actually stepped onto it ? Also, I see in the video that a man was teaching a child to ride across the zebra X, whereas again I'm sure the ruling is that's only right on a toucan. I'm astounded at the whimsicality of British punning humour, and the anagrams in the crossings' names. I always wondered why these animals names had been chosen. I also now know how to spell 'pelicon' and 'pellicon' , 'pufin' and 'puffin' !. ( I didn't know that puf(f)fins are more 'intelligent' than pel(l)icans !. A superb reminder about the value of still knowing the correct, (ahem !), but now surely non-existent hand signals. If the two above points could be addressed, I'd be grateful. Thanks very much.

@UKDrivingTest Год назад

Legally you only need to stop when a pedestrian has stepped onto the crossing, true. But like you say VERY unwise, most pedestrians will not look at Zebra crossings and just walk towards them and keep walking, so on approach it's best to treat it like a give way, plan to stop (might not need to fully stop, depends on visibility), scan for pedestrians, and only proceed when you can see no pedestrians approaching the crossing.

@UKDrivingTest Год назад

Yes technically no suppose to cycle across a Zebra crossing, like how you are not meant to cycle on the footpath, same thing. Only allowed to cycle across a toucan crossing.

@ScapoloMichael 11 месяцев назад

I got used to all these civilised luxuries in Britain, then I moved to Naples where traffic does whatever it wants, including running red lights routinely and ignoring/parking on zebra crossings (not that there are many). There are no pedestrian buttons to press and pedestrians basically take their lives into their own hands constantly throughout the day. Part of me now thinks "we don't need all the nanny state toys to cross the road like we had in the UK" and that the UK goes too far with pedestrian aids.

Sounds like they might be a pedestrian crossing at a traffic light controlled junction. In which case it is debatable what to call them, possibly puffin due to sensors, but it does not really matter, just deal with them correctly.

I think they probably would, the hand signal are fairly obvious, well imo anyway. But even if they didn't someone sticking their hand out of their window would at least confuse them and likely to cause them to slow as a result.

Do you mean when the crossing is part of a set of traffic lights at controlling a junction? As you can get the 'yellow box' for a pelican crossing there, i.e. it says "WAIT" on the box, but as it is part of a traffic light controlled junction there will be no flashing amber.

I’m still revising but I always wonder how safe is it to use hand signals when there are motorbikes lane splitting

@UKDrivingTest 3 года назад

Perfectly safe, as you should be checking your mirrors effectively, plus other surroundings, before sticking your hand of the window.
