Oh a pedestrian crossing, though everyone seems to ignore them here anyway and go streaming across the road no matter the light signals and only reluctantly stopping with an annoyed sigh and angry glare when a car finally forces its way across...

Nasty play on words

Toucan == two can cross

'cause it combines a ped crossing with a cycle lane crossing

Then there's

Puffin -

Pedestrian User Friendly and some other letters to make a birds name.

and finally

Pegasus -

It's not a bird, but it's got wings and its a crossing for peds and horses - pathetic really, but i expect they had a bit of a giggle making them up.

The theory test is a great test to prepare for because they can only ask questions from the set question bank.

I prepared carefully and did every single question at least once and the more difficult ones multiple times and I scored 35/35.
