From Pam Newby, Exeter 383654, May 15,2008
The pelican crossing in East Wonford Hill has been replaced by a puffin crossing.
The original crossing equipment was badly damaged in a recent road accident. Portable signals were installed as a temporary measure to help pedestrians and cyclists cross the road.
The main difference between a pelican and puffin crossing is that the red and green man indicator is on the near side, rather than the far side, of the road.
The decision to upgrade the crossing from a pelican to a puffin was made as the original equipment was very badly damaged.
