Buttons for Pegasus


Horse riders need to cross streets from time to time, right? And it is a very good idea to have very high buttons on button-operated traffic lights, so that a rider can press the button and turn on the green light. There is no need to dismount.

The crossings equipped with traffic lights with such buttons are called Pegasus crossings, and we would like to thank Alexander Agatov for showing us this wonderful thing. There are also toucan crossings for cyclists where they are permitted to ride across the road. The toucan name comes from “two-can-cross”, meaning both pedestrians and cyclists. It is really nice when people remember that everybody may need a different thing on the road.
