It is easier to cross the road with puffed crosses. The red and green figure signals are on the same side of the road as you are waiting to cross, so you can see them at the same time.

What follows the green at a Puffin crossing?
The traffic lights will change to amber after the green signal. There isn’t flashing amber because the sensors are used.
What is the difference between a pelican crossing and a puffin crossing?
The pelican crossing has a pedestrian signal at the opposite side of the road, but does not have a pedestrian sensor, and has a flashing light phase at the end of the crossing. A bicycle symbol can be added to the red/green crossing man to make it a Toucan crossing.
How long will a red light stay on at a puffin crossing?
The traffic lights will stay red until you reach the other side of the road, so that you can cross the road safely.
What follows a red light at a puffin crossing?
Motorists can see a sequence of traffic lights. The stop line has a red light next to it. Driving through a red light is against the law. The red light is followed by a red light with amber light, and finally a green light that tells you to keep going.
Why is it called a toucan crossing?
A toucan crossing allows both pedestrians and cyclists to cross at the same time. The name of the crossing is derived from the fact that both pedestrians and cyclists can cross it. A person is on the control panel while a bicycle is displayed.
Does a puffin crossing have sensors?
If there are people waiting at the side of the road to cross, a puffed crossing has a system to detect that. The Puffin crossing will not need to use it if the pedestrians are gone.
Why is it called a puffin crossing?
A puffin crossing is a type of crossing that is used in the UK.
What is a tiger crossing?
Cyclists and pedestrians are separated by a parallel crossing. These are called Tiger crossing.
What happens at a toucan crossing?
The Toucan crossing are included in the cycle routes. Cyclists are allowed to cross without dismounting. Drivers should treat the crossing the same as any other signal-controlled crossing.
Why is it called a zebra crossing?
Pedestrians are usually given precedence over vehicular traffic. The stripes are similar to a zebra’s coat.
Is puffin crossing automatic?
There is a button on the control panel that needs to be used to turn on Pelican and Puffin Crossings. The Puffin crossing doesn’t use a preset time for pedestrians to cross the road, which helps increase traffic flow.
Who can use puffin crossing?
Cyclists are not allowed to cross the road using the Zebra, Pelican or Puffin crossing, which is located next to a cycle-path. The green man and green cycle symbol are the same as the pelicans.
How do puffin lights work?
Pedestrian crossing lights are kept on red for traffic until a person leaves the crossing area.
What Colour follows a puffin crossing?
The red traffic signal can be held until the crossing is clear because of the infra-red sensors. There is no flashing amber phase when there is a pelican crossing.
