Pelican Crossings:
[Pedestrian Light Controlled
Crossing]
Pelican Crossings have been around for many years and the
first TV adverts starred the voice of Deryck Guyler back
in 1969.
Once you have pressed the push button at a Pelican crossing,
the Wait lamp will illuminate. You must wait until you see
the Red Man change to the Green Man, then once the traffic
has stopped you can walk straight across the road.
An audible alert is fitted for the visually impaired where
operating conditions permit.
When the Green Man is flashing it means the
lights are about to change to allow the Traffic to move again
and you should Not Begin to cross the road.
