UK Crossings 05 Pegasus

As this gripping series continues we turn our attention to a pegasus crossing or, more prosaically, an equestrian crossing. This is a type of signalised pedestrian crossing in the UK. It has a special consideration for horse riders. The name is from the mythical winged horse, the Pegasus.
Normally, they are in the form of a pelican crossing (see past posts) but simply have two control panels, one at the normal height for pedestrians or dismounted riders, and one two metres above the ground for the use of mounted riders, and the "green man" and "red man" pictograms are replaced with horses. Additional features include a wooden safety fence and a wider crossing so that the horses are further away from cars than normal.
If the crossing is to be used by pedestrians and cyclists too, then a parallel toucan crossing is placed next to the pegasus crossing.

I must confess I've never seen one of these things but then I don't live in quite the right place I guess.
