At toucan crossings, pedestrians share the crossing with which other road users?
- A Horse riders
- B Cyclists
- C Motorcyclists
- D Trams
Why this is the answer
A toucan crossing is signal-controlled, but unlike a pelican crossing it does not have a flashing amber light in the sequence. Cyclists and pedestrians cross together, and cyclists are allowed to ride their bicycles over the crossing.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Horse riders — Horse riders use a pegasus crossing, which has a higher button for them.
- C
- Motorcyclists — Motorcyclists do not cross with pedestrians; they stay on the carriageway.
- D
- Trams — Trams have their own signals and crossings.
