This shows the entrance to Cannon Hill Park on the left, with the cycle track along Edgbaston Road going towards Pershore Road. The toucan crossing is for the River Rea cycle route into the city centre, with a shared-use pavement to enable both people walking and cycling to use the crossing. The pavement has been widened on this side of the entrance, to provide extra space for the end of the cycle route. The desire line for people cycling along this route is straight across the space where people would wait for the toucan crossing. Arrangements like this can cause issues, but as this particular toucan crossing has one of the fastest response times in Birmingham, it is unlikely that there will regularly be large groups of people waiting for the light here.
