I had a weird thought while driving round Cambridge today... I can only think of a single instance of a toucan crossing in all my travels in and around Cambridge. The one I pass regularly is on Arbury road. Are there any other instances of a specifically signaled toucan crossing in Cambridge?
I've been noticing more and more Toucan crossings pop up lately that connect two bits of pavement without any marked cycle lane. As far as I am aware as a cyclist this is utterly pointless as it is illegal to cycle down a pavement when it isn't marked dual use and it is already legal to walk your cycle across a regular Pelican/Puffin crossing if dismounted which you would have to be to make use of the pavement. Is there some weird law I'm missing that makes it legal to cycle down those pavements or is the council just being the council and spending money on unusable cycling infrastructure?
There are a lot of crossroads, such as this, with traffic lights in Manchester which have 3 different modes, the one to let traffic go one way, the second to let traffic go across the other way, and the third to let pedestrians cross in all directions. A lot of cyclists wait with the traffic for pedestrians to cross. But a few, myself included, go when the 'man is green' to signal that pedestrians go. (by the way I take care to avoid pedestrians and always allow them to cross before me).
I have always assumed that this is not the correct thing to do because cyclists must abide by the same rules as cars. But today I noticed that the 'green man' light doesn't just have a man symbol but a cyclist symbol as well like this. I believe this indicates a Toucan crossing where both pedestrians and cyclists can cross.
I can't see why there would be cyclists on the pavement at the particular crossroads where I noticed this because there are cycle lanes. So does it mean that cyclists are in fact allowed to cross through the lights with the pedestrians?
edit: A better example of the Toucan crossing as crossroad lights in Manchester.
Hi, what are the differences between a Puffin and a Toucan crossing? Also, how do they benefit us bikers? I was told to research this as it has something to do with a tool on the handlebars but I can't find any definitive answers.
My thinking is:
Puffin Crossing Is a set of lights with space for cyclists that change on a timed routine.
Toucan Crossing Is the same set up as a puffin but is activated due to the flashing of lights I.E emergency vehicle lights.
If correct or not, could you please help. Thanks!
No doubt motorists also hate waiting behind buses at the shelter right next to a pedestrian island, and instead take the road that runs between between a major supermarket and the bus station that doesn't have any pedestrian crossings on it.
This is all new to me.
Zebra crossings (Regular crosswalks):

Pelican crossings (push-button crosswalks, with the signal on the other side of the road):

Toucan crossings (for cyclists, but a different style of signal):

Puffin crossings (push-button crosswalks; the walk/don't-walk light is on the same side you start from):

Oh Britain, tell us of your ways.
I often ride my bike along shared paths and rail trails in the outer eastern suburbs. I frequently use a number of toucan crossings (wide pedestrian crossings where bikes can also cross) in favour of making a right turn on busy divided roads.
Today when I was on one of these crossings, most of the way across, a grey sedan came ploughing through behind me. Straight through the red light, well over the speed limit, and blatantly ignoring the fact that I was still crossing. It was absolutely scary. If I was a bit slower, or even if I was a pedestrian without lights and reflective gear (it was around dusk), it would have been a very different story. How can someone think "there's no one crossing in my lane at the moment so I might as well just floor it and go through"? I can't believe anyone in their right mind actually going through that thought process and coming to that conclusion. It's honestly a wake up call to how dangerous some people are on the road.
This was actually the second occasion I've seen this in recent weeks. I was crossing at a toucan crossing on a moderately busy three-lane road. The pedestrian signal turned green and I started to cross on my bike. About 5 seconds later, when I was about a meter onto the crossing, a huge lifted ute ploughs through in the middle lane of the road, only a few meters in front of me. Completely reckless. I can only hope that if there was someone closer the driver would have seen them and stopped, but of course that kind of chance is not something anyone should risk their life with.
I used to think toucan crossings were pretty safe because I was basically treated as a pedestrian. But a small number of drivers have proved to me that no one is completely safe around roads, and the actions of these people at their worst can be absolutely horrendous.
edit: I do look both ways before I cross, but these incidents were both in 70 zones (although the cars were probably doing over 80) so they were at least 100 metres away when I started crossing. In that case you can only assume they're going to slow down and stop.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Welcome to Desire Season 13 - Separation!
What is Desire?
Desire is a recorded round organized by TommySX and Micale - originally created by Danielsherba and KatManKhaos - in which the players focus is to go to a specific area on the map, traditionally in the form of monuments in each quadrant on the map (However, this isn't always the case).
What is Separation?
This season, players are divided into 4 quadrants by TWO BIG CRACKS at 0,0. There are barriers in place along the cracks to prevent the players from crossing them traditionally. There are pads towards the middle of the map that allow you to teleport to color-coded corresponding quadrants. In addition, at the beginning of Episode 2, you must stay 100 blocks from your teammate. Failure to do so after 30 seconds, will result in damage in the form of 1 heart, every 30 seconds.

In the initial pages of Ben Lerner's presentation novel, "Leaving the Atocha Station," his storyteller goes to Madrid's Prado exhibition hall and notices a more abnormal breaking into cries before Rogier van der Weyden's "Drop From the Cross," a votive picture ascribed to Paolo da San Leocadio, and Hieronymus Bosch's "Nursery of Natural Joys." He watches the man until he leaves and follows him out into the daylight. The storyteller has stressed for quite a while that he is unequipped for having such a significant encounter of workmanship. A large number of us, I envision, have encountered the inability to be moved by a painting as we'd wanted to be. I considered this entry I watched the principal significant advertisement for Meta, Facebook's rebranding as a metaverse organization, which likewise happens in a gallery. However, here the workmanship is moving — plainly.
The video starts with four youngsters taking a gander at Henri Rousseau's "Battle Between a Tiger and a Bison," which hangs in the Cleveland Gallery of Craftsmanship. As they peer into the edge, the tiger's eyes flash and the entire composition springs up and opens up into a three-dimensional vivified wilderness. The tiger and the bison, the toucans and monkeys and the mandrills in the trees, all beginning getting into an old rave rhythm; the children bop along, as well. Natural product trees develop around them in the exhibition. Over the rainforest shelter, somewhere far off, stands a secretive hexagonal entrance, and past that, in the cloudy red slopes, the transcending horizon of an extraordinary tropical city. It's a scene that recommends Facebook might be getting back to Silicon Valley's nonconformist starting points: a hallucinogenic dream of a worldwide local area partaking in aggregate visualizations.

Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
