Pelican crossing
Pelican crossings use traffic lights to stop vehicles, allowing pedestrians to cross. Pelican crossings give a clear signal when motorists need to stop and when pedestrians should cross. These signalised pedestrian crossing points are used where pedestrian road crossing movements are particularly high and the road in question experiences excessive speed.
Pelican crossings must be installed where the traffic light signals are visible to approaching vehicles.
Indicative costs
Pelican crossings with anti-skid carriageway surfacing and associated street lighting cost approximately £80,000.
A dual crossing would cost approximately £180,000.
