A Pegasus Crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing in the United Kingdom which has a special consideration for horse riders. They are named after the mythical winged horse, the Pegasus.
Normally, they are in the form of a pelican crossing but simply have a control panel slightly higher up so that people riding horses can reach the button easily, and the "Green Man" and "Red Man" pictograms are replaced with horses. Additional features include wooden safety fence, and a wider crossing so that the horses are further away from cars than normal.
