HElP!!! Diffrence between puffing and toucan crossing!!!!?

Question

I got my driving theory tomorow and i don't know whats the diffrence between them two!!! I can't find it in the high way code and when i'm doing the test on the DVD i just guess it and i'm nearly almost always wrong. The questions include who can use it, flashing amber lights etc. Plz tell me all the charactristic of the two crossings plz!!!

Answer 1

I was lernt that:

- a zebra crossing is black and white and has belicia beacons

- a pelican crossing is accross the road, and you have to press the button to activate the traffic lights

- a toucan crossing is a pelican crossing at a junction

- a puffin crossing is light controlled and at a junction, but there is no button to press, you just wait for the light sequence to get round to you.

Answer 2

Puffin crossings are like Pelican Crossings but you no longer look over the road for the invitation to cross as the Red and Green Man are mounted on the signal pole at your Left or Right hand side.

Toucan crossings are where pedestrians and cyclists share a wide and un-segregated crossing area. Cyclists can ride across – all users should avoid changing direction suddenly. Cyclists should keep their speed down and be prepared to give way to avoid possible conflicts.

Answer 3

Well, ummmm, I live in Canada and I have no idea what you mean. All I can say is that if you are running you are "puffin" and if you are with a friend and the light is green, then "two can" cross.....lol

Im assuming here that UCANTCME is right......
