a zebra crossing ve a pelican crossing arasındaki fark nedir?Sadece örnek cümleler vermekten çekinmeyin.

@OldGeezer **Zebra crossings:

Zebra crossings have two sets of flashing amber beacons . They have an area of road between them that’s painted in black and white stripes. Drivers are legally obliged to give way to pedestrians waiting to cross, so make sure you scan the road ahead and manage your speed as you approach them. Remember – zebra crossings don’t have traffic lights but they do have a broken give-way line that you mustn’t cross when you stop. Failing to give way to pedestrians is a criminal offence that can result in points on a driving licence – even a provisional licence – so it’s worth getting to know the rules.

**Pelican crossings:

Pelican crossings differ from zebra crossings in that the flow of traffic is controlled by traffic lights. (And, as far as I know, they weren’t named after a politician called Mr Pelican.) Pedestrians waiting at a pelican crossing are able to press a button that changes the traffic lights to red after a timed delay. Sounds simple enough – pedestrians press the button and cross once the lights are red. Well, in theory it is simple, but accidents can and do occur as a result of drivers misunderstanding the light sequence or just not seeing pedestrians. It might surprise you to learn, for example, that there were 17 deaths on pelican crossings in the UK in 2012 – 3 children and 14 adults.1
