WHAT DOES TOUCAN CROSSING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

toucan crossing

Toucan crossing

A toucan crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing found in the United Kingdom that also allows bicycles to be ridden across. Since two-can, both pedestrians and cyclists, cross together, the name toucan was chosen. Toucan crossing signals In the UK, toucan crossings are normally 4 metres wide, instead of the 2.8-metre width of a pelican crossing or puffin crossing. There are two types of Toucan crossing: on more recent ones a "green bicycle" is displayed next to the "green man" when cyclists and pedestrians are permitted to cross and a red bicycle and man are show at other times; older ones do not have a red bicycle – bicycles are permitted to cross at any time. Unlike the pelican crossing, before the lights for vehicles go back to green, a steady red and amber are displayed instead of a flashing amber. The pedestrian/cyclist signal lights may be on the near side of the crossing, or on the opposite side of the road. A related crossing type pegasus crossing for horse riders.
