Pedestrian crossings
Types of crossing

Different types of pedestrian crossing are used according to how busy the road is:

Pelican crossings

These signalled crossings are found on fast, busy roads or where many pedestrians cross.

Zebra crossings

These are used on roads with lower traffic or pedestrian levels.

Traffic islands/pedestrian refuges

Where a formal pedestrian crossing is not justified, these help pedestrians by providing a "safe space" in the middle of the road so that you can cross the road in two stages.

All new crossings include facilities for the disabled.
