Pegasus crossing rules and how to use one
Press the crossing demand button and wait for a green light. When you are permitted to cross, double check that all traffic has stopped before setting off.
Treat Pegasus crossings in the same way you would Puffin, Toucan and Pelican crossings, but don’t be surprised to see a horse crossing the road. Also be sure to keep any noise down in order to prevent startling the horse - do not use the horn and avoid excessively revving the engine.
A Pegasus Crossing is a type of crossing controlled by traffic signals. They work in a similar way to pelican crossings except extra push buttons are made available at an increased height for horse riders. Red and green horse pictograms may also be used.

A push-button controlled crossing which permits equestrian as well as pedestrian use. A second push-button box is mounted higher up such that the horse rider does not need to dismount to operate the crossing.
Pegasus crossings are sometimes used in conjuction with a toucan crossing with separate crossing points for equestrians and cyclists.

Type of pedestrian crossing
A pegasus crossing (United Kingdom; also equestrian crossing) is a type of signalised pedestrian crossing, with special consideration for horse riders. This type of crossing is named after the mythical winged horse, Pegasus. They are primarily used in the United Kingdom and Peru.[1]
At a minimum, these crossings are in the form of a pelican crossing or puffin crossing but simply have two control panels, one at the normal height for pedestrians or dismounted riders, and one two metres above the ground for the use of mounted riders, and the "green man" (walk) and "red man" (stop) pictograms are replaced with horses. Additional features, to improve safety, include a wooden fence or other barrier and a wider crossing so that the horses are further away from vehicles than normal.
If the crossing is to be used by pedestrians and cyclists too, then a parallel, separate toucan crossing may be placed next to the pegasus crossing.[2][3]
Pedestrian crossings explained
Installation and removal
There are examples in Hyde Park, Richmond Park and village area of Wimbledon in London; Rayleigh, Colchester and Great Notley in Essex and Worsley, Salford as well as near Epsom Downs Racecourse, Surrey and in Colton on the former A6120 (now B6902) in Leeds. The crossing in Colton has a separate gravel covered section, signposted for use by horses only, located at 53.795888,-1.436130. Another example is situated between Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire on Stainsacre Lane.
After completion of upgrading the A66 between Greta Bridge–Scotch Corner in 2007,[4] two pegasus crossings were installed on the section of the dual carriageway in 2009, immediately to the west of Scotch Corner. These crossings included raised buttons for horse riders, safety fences and lights to control the traffic which consisted of only two orange lights. These crossings never became operational and with the exception of the safety fences were later[when?] removed.
There are also examples in use in Lima, Peru.

A Pegasus crossing - also known as an Equestrian crossing - is designed to allow horse riders to cross the road. These crossings are found on bridleways and, in some instances, there may be another crossing located next to it in order to accommodate foot and cycle traffic.
Much like Toucans and Puffins, Pegasus crossings use sensors to detect when there are people waiting to cross or already crossing. They are also much wider in order to allow sufficient room for the horses.

The black and yellow box is also fitted higher than on any other crossing, this is to allow a rider to press the button without getting off their horse.
