Toucan Crossings (‘two can cross’, for pedestrians and cyclists) However, pedestrians must ensure all traffic has stopped before crossing and remain vigilant as they cross. The pedestrian has right of way once they step foot onto the crossing. Puffin crossings do not have a flashing green man for pedestrians or a flashing amber for drivers.Ī zebra crossing has black and white stripes with orange flashing beacons at each end. There are special in-built sensors which can detect a pedestrian waiting and make sure traffic remains stopped until all pedestrians have crossed the road.
