What Kind of Pedestrian Crossings Are There?
Understanding the different kinds of pedestrian crossings is one of the first things you learn during your first driving lessons.
In addition to being for pedestrian safety, you can encounter them or be questioned about them during your driving test. The purpose of pedestrian crossings is to facilitate safe pedestrian crossings.
The UK government site has a very good guide that people starting to take driving lessons will find very useful:
Different kind of pedestrian crossings include: zig-zag road markings, puffin crossings, toucan crossings, equestrian crossings, pelican crossing, signal-controlled junctions, zebra crossings and parallel crossings. As you can see, there are quite a few and it is important that become familiar with all of them. It may seem a bit daunting at first, but their names will help you remembering what they and you will be glad that you do when you take your driving test.
