Puffin Flashing Amber vs Pelican Confusion: Understanding the Lights

Puffin Crossing Flashing Amber vs Pelican Crossing Confusion: Understanding the Lights

Ever stood at a crossing unsure what the flashing amber means? You're not alone! This article clears up the confusion between puffin crossings and pelican crossings, particularly regarding the flashing amber light.

Mastering the Maidenhead & Slough Roads: What's the Difference?

Let's break it down:

• Puffin Crossing: This crossing uses sensors to detect pedestrians. There's no flashing amber light. The lights simply switch from red (stop for drivers) to green (go for pedestrians).

• Pelican Crossing: These crossings have a button for pedestrians to activate the lights. The sequence goes: red (stop for drivers), green man (go for pedestrians), flashing amber (pedestrians finish crossing, drivers wait), then green (go for drivers).

Is it the Same for Toucans?

Yes! Toucan crossings are a type of pelican crossing specifically designed for cyclists and pedestrians. They follow the same light sequence as pelican crossings, including the flashing amber phase.
