Toucan Crossings / Facilities for Crossing of Cyclists and Special Users Other than Pedestrians; This group of measures consider the installation of crossing facilities shared among pedestrians and cyclists (without the requirement of dismounting the bicycle for using crossings), known as Toucan crossings, or other special users (as equestrians in Pegasus crossings). Both measures are peculiar of the U.K. traffic ordinance. Most countries treat cyclists as vehicles in traffic regulations, as a rule allocating them to traffic lanes only. However, even so, shared crossings can be an option in providing access to cycle lanes, shared paths and cycle-tracks or for helping cyclists in handling complicated intersections (e.g. as an option to ASLs). In some countries, as Brazil, the regulations on signals for cyclists in traffic lanes or crossings are not detailed. Perhaps the measure can be tried with experimental authorization, at least.
