The most notable difference between Pelican and Puffin crossings is the phases. Pelican crossings go through a flashing amber phase on their way from red to green, imitating the behaviour of Belisha beacons from Zebra crossings. Puffin crossings remove this behaviour, instead opting for the typical red -> red+amber -> green phase, using pedestrian sensors instead of solely a timer. This also means that the system can cancel the crossing sequence if the pedestrian pushes the wait button, but then leaves.
