John Michael Bagley has written: 'Road accidents at zebra and pelican crossings'
The pelican crossing was invented in the United Kingdom in 1969. It was designed to improve pedestrian safety at road crossings by using traffic lights that allow pedestrians to cross while giving vehicles a clear signal to stop. The term "pelican" is an acronym for "PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled crossing."
the difference is that you have to wait to cross a pelican crossing, but a school crossing, someone just stands in the middle of the road and stops cars and lets you cross quicker. Pelican crossing: traffic lights for pedestrians and vehicles; button-operated. http://stretsmartsigns.com

A lollipop lady is a crossing guard who helps children safely cross the road at designated points, whereas a pelican crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing controlled by traffic lights. Lollipop ladies use a stop sign on a stick to halt traffic, while pelican crossings have signal-controlled lights for pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
It takes a mama pelican and a papa pelican to do that.
