Signal controls at junctions

They're normal traffic signals at junctions that give priority to different streams of traffic. Most also include facilities to control pedestrian crossing.

Pelican crossings

They're the green man indicator at the opposite side of the road to the pedestrians. These crossings have a flashing green man and a flashing amber traffic light.

Puffin crossings

They're a pedestrian indicator on the same side as the pedestrian. There is no flashing green man or amber traffic light.

Toucan crossings

They allow both cyclists and pedestrians to cross and show green cycle symbol and a green man.

Pegasus crossings

They allow horses to cross and have special arrangements for the horses to wait.

Vehicle activated signs

They are activated by approaching vehicles and usually warn the driver of a hazard or a speed limit.
