A UK pedestrian crossing designed to let horse riders cross safely, using a higher call button, is a Pegasus crossing.
A Pegasus crossing is a signalised crossing adapted for mounted riders. Its control panel includes a second button positioned about two metres above the ground, allowing a rider to request a crossing without dismounting. The signals use horse symbols rather than the ordinary walking figures.
The name comes from Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology. These crossings are generally wider than ordinary pedestrian crossings and may include fencing or barriers that keep horses farther from moving traffic. Some also provide a separate adjacent Toucan crossing for pedestrians and cyclists.
A common mix-up is to confuse Pegasus crossings with Puffin, Pelican or Toucan crossings. Those names describe pedestrian or pedestrian-and-cycle arrangements; Pegasus specifically signals provision for equestrians. Examples exist in Britain, including near parks, racecourses and rural routes, and a few have also been installed in Peru.
