A Pegasus Crossing in the UK is specifically designed to cater to horse riders, pedestrians, and sometimes cyclists. Key features include:
- Equestrian Focus: Named after the mythical winged horse, Pegasus, these crossings are tailored for horse riders.
- Dual Control Panels: There are two sets of control panels—one at a standard height for pedestrians and another higher up for those on horseback.
- Signal Lights: The signal lights display horse and rider symbols instead of the usual pedestrian symbols.
- Safety Features: These crossings often have barriers or fences to ensure the safety of horses and riders from traffic.
- Wider Crossing: The crossing area is broader to accommodate horses, keeping them further away
