Which crossing type has a flashing green man?

• A. Puffin crossing
• B. Toucan crossing
• C. Pelican crossing
• D. Equestrian crossing

Answer: (C)

Pedestrian signal patterns differ by crossing type, and the flashing green man is a feature used with Pelican crossings. When you press the button at a Pelican crossing, you’ll see the pedestrian signal show a flashing green man for a short moment. That flash means you should not start crossing yet and that the signal is about to change. Once the signal becomes a steady green man, you may start crossing. Puffin crossings use sensors and typically show a steady green man when it’s safe, with no flashing phase. Toucan crossings also provide a steady pedestrian signal (and include a cyclists’ phase), while Equestrian crossings have signals tailored for horse riders. So the crossing type associated with a flashing green man is Pelican.
