puffin crossing การใช้

• Drivers waiting at the Puffin crossing will only be allowed to continue once they have finished crossing the road . [ 1]
• Most Puffin crossings have sensors on top of the traffic lights, although some may be buried in the ground in the waiting area.
• The United Kingdom, the Puffin crossings and their predecessor, the Pelican crossing, will make a fast beeping sound to indicate that it is safe to cross the road.
• A puffin crossing has the lights on the same side as the pedestrian; a toucan crossing is a crossing for pedestrians and bicycles; a pegasus crossing allows horse riders to cross as well.
• In the United Kingdom, toucan crossings are normally 4 metres ( 13 feet ) wide, instead of the 2.8 metre ( 9 feet ) width of a pelican crossing or puffin crossing.
• The pedestrian / cyclist signal lights may be on the near side of the crossing ( like a puffin crossing ), or on the opposite side of the road ( like a pelican crossing ).
• Additionally, a pelican crossing, as distinct from a puffin crossing, has the special feature that while the green man flashes to indicate that pedestrians may continue crossing but may not start to cross, the red light changes to an amber flashing light permitting cars to pass if there are no further pedestrians.
• In recent years the number of zebra crossings and Belisha beacons has fallen in the northern counties of England, being replaced by pelican crossings or puffin crossings, with pedestrian-controlled traffic signals; a waiting pedestrian can stop vehicular traffic by pressing a button and waiting for the pedestrian signal of a red and green man to change to green.
• At a minimum, these crossings are in the form of a pelican crossing or puffin crossing but simply have two control panels, one at the normal height for pedestrians or dismounted riders, and one two metres above the ground for the use of mounted riders, and the " green man " ( walk ) and " red man " ( stop ) pictograms are replaced with horses.
