At toucan crossings, pedestrians and cyclists can cross together and like puffin crossings, they are signal-controlled.
Pedestrians or cyclists wishing to cross can press the button on the yellow box to stop the traffic.
Detectors monitor the crossing to make sure enough time is given for both pedestrians and cyclists to finish crossing before allowing traffic to move.
Pedestrians
- Watch out for cyclists who may also be using the crossing
- Make sure all traffic has stopped before you start crossing - drivers can sometimes jump red lights
- Remember to start looking and listening for traffic while you're on the crossing
Cyclists
- Show care and consideration to pedestrians who may also be using the crossing
- Do not use a toucan crossing when the red man and red bicycle shows - even if there is no traffic near
- After crossing, continue on the road or on the cycle path if there is one, and not on the pavement
