Pegasus crossing
A pegasus crossing is a type of crossing with special consideration for horse riders, with the control panel being positioned 2 metres above the ground to assist horse riders so they don’t have to dismount in order to operate the crossing.
These signalised horse crossing points are used where horse road crossing movements are particularly high and the road in question experiences excessive speed.
Indicative costs
Pegasus crossings with anti-skid carriageway surfacing and associated street lighting cost approximately £130,000.
Dual crossings would cost approximately £250,000.
