The Toucan crossing is second only to the Zebra for clarity and ease of remembering. Both bicyclists and pedestrians may cross on a Toucan Crossing, thus the name Toucan, or two-can cross. It is the only crossing where the bicyclist can ride across, and not have to dismount first [with one exception, which you must wait until the letter Z to find out].
Because they are made for bicyclists as well as pedestrians, they are usually wider than a regular Puffin or Pelican or Zebra.
I had no idea what a Toucan crossing was, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one come to think of it!

You’d know it if you saw it!
Two-can but what about thousands? In Mumbai during office hours a policemen hold a thick rope across a pedestrian crossing and once he drops it, people just pour out on to the street – It is a sight not to be missed! I wonder what they call such crossings?
Watch for my x- post! 😉
Surely!
Fascinating!

I love it, a bicyclist has to dismount and push the bike across, well, unless it’s a Toucan crossing, but why? Such interesting stuff!
Toucan crossing are really wide, so there is room for them to ride without getting in the way of the pedestrians
