Here's what they effectively mean
zebra => pedestrian priority
pelican => pedestrian signalled
toucan => cycle/pedestrian segregated signalled
toucan => cycle/pedestrian shared(they use the same space to cross)
signalled
pegasus => cycle/pedestrian/horse segregated signalled
lollipop => pedestrian supervised (may have signals or not)
(There's also in the UK a thing called a 'puffin' crossing which is
pedestrian signalled, but with miniature lights on the pole rather than
a facing 'green man').
These combinations are a bit tedious. If we follow the pattern fro
restrictions we have elsewhere, we might have
crossing=traffic_signals or crossing=uncontrolled
with
pedestrian=no (default is yes if omitted)
bicycle=yes (default no)
horse=yes (default no)
segregated=yes/no (default not known)
supervised=yes (default no)
Hence
zebra:
crossing=uncontrolled
pelican
crossing=traffic_signals
bicycle=yes
segregated=yes
toucan
crossing=traffic_signals
bicycle=yes
segregated=no
pegasus
crossing=traffic_signals
bicycle=yes
horse=yes
segregated=yes (sometimes no)
lollipop
crossing=traffic_signals (or uncontrolled, as appropriate)
supervised=yes
Is this better?
