Who uses toucan crossings. This uses pedestrian detection both at the footway threshold and across the carriageway with nearside instead of far side signal aspects. These are called toucan crossings. The steady amber phase of a toucan crossing signals drivers to prepare to stop.
A toucan crossing works in a similar way to a puffin crossing using sensors to detect when there are people waiting to cross or already crossing the road. Previous research has shown that toucan crossings are known to be a viable alternative to parallel crossings. Toucan crossings trial studies where being carried out into the puffin crossing.

If whilst driving you drive through a steady amber because you are close to the crossing this is acceptable providing you do not drive through a red light at. Toucan crossing steady amber. The aim of this phase of research was to test new toucan crossing equipment based on equipment used for.
These are a red stationary person to indicate that it is. Toucan crossings use the same sequence as those found on puffin crossings. Toucan crossings are signal controlled road crossings at which cyclists and pedestrians cross in the same area at the same time.
