X-way crossings, signal controlled pedestrian crossings which show in sequence a red, flashing amber, white cross or steady amber signal to vehicles and a red, green or flashing green symbolic man to pedestrians, were installed experimentally at certain sites in the United Kingdom in the Spring of 1967. Road user behaviour at these crossings has been compared with that at zebra and normal signal controlled crossings. The use of X-way crossings by pedestrians was found to be similar in most respects to that of the other types. Drivers, however, appeared to be less observant of the stop signal than they were at crossings with normal light signals. To minimise this possible danger of X-way crossings it is suggested that the white cross be changed to a green signal and that certain precautions be taken to prevent confusion at unsignalised junctions.
