Three differences between school control and pelican crossing?

Location: School control typically refers to a school crossing where a crossing patrol officer assists pedestrians, while a pelican crossing is a type of pedestrian crossing with traffic lights to regulate the flow of vehicles and pedestrians. Control mechanism: School control relies on the presence of a crossing patrol officer who manually stops traffic to allow pedestrians to cross, whereas a pelican crossing uses traffic lights to control the flow of vehicles and pedestrians. Visibility: School controls are often marked by signs and flashing lights to indicate the presence of a school crossing patrol officer, while pelican crossings are visually marked with yellow stripes on the road and pedestrian signal posts.
