Where I live there is a [sort of] staggered crossroads, the main road turns right, but to go straight on you turn left first...... |

I don't like the ones that change, from the motorist's point of view, straight from red to green - prefer the flashing amber. The time to cross for pedestrians seems quite short. We have a crossing on the main road now, there was call for one for years but nothing happened until somebody got killed crossing the road about 5 years ago. |

As a motorist, can assure you that green light means "proceed if crossing is clear". Almost all motorists tut if their light is green, and crossing not clear. But they do know that rule. |

When they were first invented, and I was still fit, I still thought there was far too little time for anyone to cross comfortably - and now I use a wheelie walker or just a stick there are no safe time margins at all. |

The pelican crossing on the main road near an island here crosses 4 lanes to the middle and then 3 lanes to the far side. I must say found it a bit hard to get across the 4 lanes to the middle before the lights changed after I'd had an operation and couldn't walk fast. The traffic roars off like a Brands Hatch start when the lights change as well. It did make me wonder how mums with toddlers in tow and the very elderly manage. |

There's one in the village, but to be honest I only use it when the car is in for a service - the garage is on the opposite side of the road to everything else. There is plenty of time, but like Graham, there has usually been a big gap in the traffic to safely cross. |

I think you're getting zebra crossings and pelican crossings muddled up ;-) |
