		The Pelican Crossing was the first definitive light controlled crossing, introduced in 1969, after the earlier failed experiment of the Panda crossing.
		A Puffin crossing has the lights on the same side as the pedestrian; a Toucan crossing is a crossing for pedestrians and bicycles.
		Pelican type crossings sometimes have further non-visual indication that it is safe to cross, such as a beep, vibrating button or tactile rotating cone in order to assist blind or partially sighted pedestrians.

	Pelican crossing
		A pelican crossing (PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled crossing) is a type of pedestrian crossing which features a standard set of traffic lights, a push button, and a further two coloured lamps, for the purpose of instructing pedestrians using the crossing.
		In the UK, these two lamps are in the image of a "green man" pictured walking, and a "red man" pictured stationary, whereas in the USA these lamps take the shape of "Walk"/"Don't walk" messages.
		Pelican crossings most usually also have some further non-visual indication that it is safe to cross, such as a beep, in order to assist blind or partially sighted pedestrians.

		History 2.1 A pelican crossing was provided in May 1983 as a temporary measure to help pedestrians cross Bitterne Road to the east of Commercial Street during the construction period of the Bitterne Bypass, before the present subways became available.
		It involved a bus having to brake sharply to avoid a pedestrian crossing the road in the vicinity of the Roman Catholic Church; a bus passenger was injured.
		The numbers of pedestrians crossing and the volume of traffic is such that the more positive control of a pelican crossing is recommended, rather than a zebra crossing and the estimated of such an installation is approximately 12,000.

		The Pelican Ultra (ultra-large transport aircraft) is a concept being studied by Boeing's Phantom Works as a potential transoceanic cargo and strategic military transport for the 2015 timeframe.
		Unlike previous WIG vehicles such as Russia's Ekranoplan, the Pelican was designed from the outset as a conventional, land-based aircraft able to operate from runways and be compatible with cargo-handling systems.
		Although the Pelican is expected to be far more rugged than previous comparable aircraft, the Phantom Works is studying a number of bird-strike strategies, ranging from detection and avoidance systems (including tracking migration paths) to methods for scaring birds away from the flightpath.

		A plan is attached showing a possible layout based on narrowing the carriageway on the northern side of the road, installing a pelican crossing at the minimum allowable distance from the junction and retaining as much parking as possible on both sides of the road.
		It is, therefore, RECOMMENDED That the provision of a pelican crossing on Beaulieu Road, Dibden Purlieu, near the junction of North Road, be approved at an estimated cost of £30,000 and considered for inclusion in the Special Needs sector of the Capital Programme.
		If a crossing were to be provided this would be a suitable location, encouraging pedestrians from the car park to use the crossing to visit the shops on the east side of the road.

		A Puffin crossing is similar to a pelican crossing, but it has a sensor that keeps the traffic signals on red while someone crosses.It will not allow the lights to change if a pedestrian presses the button and walks away.
		Toucan crossings are different to pelican crossings, because they do not have the flashing green man that warns you that the lights are about to change.

	BBC - h2g2 - Pelican Crossings - A568587
		Pelican crossings are one of the most common types of traffic light-controlled pedestrian interfaces used in the UK and Ireland.
		Foot crossing is controlled by red man/green man signal lights, which forbid or permit crossing of the road.
		The Pelican process is started by a pedestrian pushing a button on one of the lighting posts to indicate their intention of crossing the road.

	Pegasus crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Pegasus Crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing in the United Kingdom which has a special consideration for horse riders.
		Normally, they are in the form of a pelican crossing but simply have two control panels, one at the normal height for pedestrians or dismounted riders, and one two metres above the ground for the use of mounted riders, and the "Green Man" and "Red Man" pictograms are replaced with horses.
		Additional features include wooden safety fence, and a wider crossing so that the horses are further away from cars than normal.

		Pelican crossings are traffic light controlled and will only change if someone presses the button, which is located on the side of the traffic light pole.
		When approaching a pelican crossing and the Pelican has just changed from Red to the flashing amber, keep checking to see that the crossing is clear before committing your self to driving through the crossing.
		However, be careful when approaching a Pelican crossing as there maybe no one around as you approach the crossing but someone may have pressed the button and crossed before the lights have changed.

	Sydenham Town News - Zebra Crossing Safety Report
		Buff anti-skid surfacing with SLOW markings on the approaches to the crossing are proposed to be laid before the end of the financial year (The laying of this is weather dependant).
		A pelican crossing proposal is not proposed for many reasons and these include; insufficient widths of footways for waiting pedestrians, another set of signals in Sydenham Rd, compounding of carriageway capacity problems.
		Siting a pelican may prove to be costly as the bridge would need to be widened to accommodate widened footways and possibly a central reservation for the signals.

		Pedestrian crossing activity is increased by the presence of Testwood Comprehensive School, situated on Testwood Lane to the north-west of Salisbury Road, and Abbotswood Middle School and Lydlynch First School, both situated to the south-east of Salisbury Road.
		The proposed crossing facility would therefore be used by a large number of children travelling to and from school, and would assist the existing school crossing patrol on this road.
		It is, therefore, RECOMMENDED That the provision of a pelican crossing on the A36, Salisbury Road, Totton be approved and considered for inclusion in the Special Needs Sector of the Capital Programme at the appropriate time.

	Pelican, Puffin & Toucan Crossings
		All these types of crossing are designed to give priority to pedestrians by minimising the time they have to wait to cross.
		A Puffin Crossing differs from a Pelican Crossing in that there is no flashing 'green man' period for pedestrians or flashing amber period for motorists.
		Another new type of crossing, the Toucan, operates in exactly the same way as the Puffin Crossing except that it is (usually) wider and is shared by both cyclists and pedestrians.

	HCI Blog: Pelican Crossing - User Centered?
		Pelican crossings exist for a single user - pedestrians, the people who want to cross the road - they do however interact with another group - drivers, the people who stop to allow pedestrians to cross.
		One aspect of pelican crossing design, that annoys drivers, is when the lights go red and no-one is crossing (because they have already crossed, or walked off).
		then eventually crossed (the road was clear) as I did I noticed that the illuminated ``wait" light had gone out - the sensor had terminated my request to cross because it had lost sight of me...

	Pedestrian crossing
		A pedestrian crossing, or crosswalk, is a designated point on a road at which some means are employed to assist pedestrians wishing to cross the road.
		Pedestrian crossings may have regular traffic lights (where those for the pedestrians are usually without yellow) or special coloured lamps or non-illuminated signs (Belisha beacons) to alert drivers of vehicles.
		Pedestrian controlled crossings are sometimes provided with enhanced features to assist the disabled.

	Pedestrian Crossing - How 2 deal
		A Zebra crossing is a path across a road marked with fl and white stripes where pedestrians may cross.
		At some pelican crossings there is a bleeping sound to indicate to blind or partially-sighted people when the steady green figure is showing, and there may be a tactile signal to help deafblind people.
		The Pegasus crossing is similar to any other light controlled crossing, but in addition to provision for pedestrians (as at a Puffin Crossing) and/or cyclists (as at a Toucan crossing) the Pegasus crossing makes special provision for horses.

		A toucan crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing found in the UK that also allows bicycles to cross.
		Toucan crossings are normally 4 metres (13 feet) wide, instead of the 2.8 metre (9 feet) width of a Pelican or Puffin.
		The pedestrian / cyclist signal lights may be on the near side of the crossing (like a Puffin), or on the opposite side of the road (like a Pelican).

		At the start of this lesson the teacher showed the pupils a video of a pelican crossing in use, and the pupils identified a typical sequence of events as a class exercise.
		She initially created a sequence of instructions to monitor an input (used to indicate when a pedestrian wished to use the crossing), control the sequence of the traffic lights and reset back to the monitoring phase.
		Anita realised that she had missed out part of the sequence for a standard pedestrian crossing: the flashing of the amber lights to warn of the imminent change of the lights.

	Ealing Cycling Campaign Report: Zebra versus Pelican Crossings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		On a zebra crossing, cyclists can see pedestrians approaching, slow down, and will often time their approach to cross the zebra when it is clear.
		In the UK after years of favouring signalised "pelican" installations, zebra crossings now seem to be making a comeback particularly in city centre schemes involving traffic calming and pedestrian priority with new zebra installations in Edinburgh, York and Norwich.
		It is now argued that signalised crossings can have a detrimental effect on pedestrian safety as they may encourage the driver to look for signals and not for pedestrians (7).
