Why is it called a toucan crossing?

A toucan crossing, so called because two-can cross (and the Department for Transport is whimsical), is designed for both pedestrians and cyclists. These are usually found along cycle-ways and unlike other pedestrian crossings, mounted cyclists can legally cross.

Do Puffin crossings have cameras?

What is a Puffin crossing?

A puffin crossing (its name derived from the phrase “pedestrian user-friendly intelligent”) is a type of pedestrian crossing in use in the United Kingdom. These sensors detect if pedestrians are crossing slowly and can hold the red traffic light longer if needed.

How can you tell if a traffic light has a camera?

The easiest option is to look for signs that are typically posted at a distance of 50 to 500 feet from the signal where the red light camera has been installed. However, just because there is no sign doesn’t mean there’s no camera. Knowing how a red light camera looks can be helpful in identifying one.

Can you get away with going through a red light?

In all likelihood, very few. As a ‘strict liability’ offence, you won’t get away with simply insisting you ‘didn’t intend’ to run the light, if photographic evidence proves you did. The only circumstances which may offer a defence include: Proving you did not go through the red light.

What happens if you get 6 points in 2 years?
