Toucan, Puffin and Equestrian Crossings
Toucan, puffin and equestrian crossings. These are similar to pelican crossings, but there is no flashing amber phase; the light sequence for traffic at these three crossings is the same as at traffic lights. If the signal-controlled crossing is not working, proceed with extreme caution. Do not enter the crossing if you are unable to completely clear it, to avoid obstructing pedestrians, cyclists or horse riders.

Toucan, puffin and equestrian crossings work like normal traffic lights, without a flashing amber light, and you must only go on green if the crossing is clear. If the signals are not working, you must proceed very carefully and never enter the crossing unless you can fully clear it. For example, if you are in slow-moving traffic approaching a toucan crossing and the light turns green, you should wait behind the stop line if there is not enough space ahead, so you do not end up blocking pedestrians, cyclists or horse riders on the crossing.
