Toucan crossings may be used by both pedestrians and cyclists. They are designed to cater for both groups, usually being wider than other types of crossings to accommodate cyclists riding across. Cyclists are allowed to cross while riding their bicycles, unlike some other crossings where they may be expected to dismount. The crossing signals show both a pedestrian and a bicycle symbol to indicate when it is safe for both to cross. Motorists must stop when the crossing light is red and wait until pedestrians and cyclists have crossed completely. Parking or overtaking within the crossing area is prohibited for safety. In summary, toucan crossings are shared crossings intended specifically for pedestrians and cyclists to cross roads safely together.
