# Which road users can use toucan crossings?

DVSA-style practice question · Rules of the Road

## The answer options

-   Tram drivers 
-   Motorcyclists 
-   Bus drivers 
-   Cyclists and pedestrians**Correct** 

## Why that is the answer

Toucan crossings are designed specifically for pedestrians and cyclists to share the space and cross the road at the same time. The name comes from the phrase two can cross together. Unlike zebra or puffin crossings, cyclists are permitted to ride across without dismounting. Motorcyclists, bus drivers, and tram drivers operate motor traffic and must remain on the carriageway, so they cannot use pedestrian crossings.

## How this comes up in the real test

Questions from rules of the road appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.

The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.

## Passed your theory? Get the practical booked

Your theory certificate lasts two years. Most learners who use it quickly do it with an intensive course — a block of hours with a DVSA approved instructor and a practical test at the end, instead of one lesson a week for months.
