PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS VIDEO TUTORIAL - PELICAN & ZEBRA CROSSINGS

<<< Home
Pedestrian Crossings
Next >>>


PUFFIN CROSSINGS have automatic sensors, which detect when pedestrians wish to cross and delay the green light until they have safely reached the other side. The light sequence is the same as a normal traffic light with no flashing amber stage.

 TOUCAN CROSSINGS these can also be used by cyclists who have the right to ride across them. Again there is no flashing amber stage. They use a normal traffic light sequence.

At pedestrian crossings, the examiner on your driving test will expect you to:

  • Demonstrate consideration and courtesy for pedestrians
  • Stop at Pelican, Puffin, Toucan and Pegasus Crossings if the lights are red
  • Stop when a school crossing patrol officer steps into the road
  • Give way to pedestrians at Pelican Crossings if the lights are flashing amber
  • Slow down and stop at Zebra Crossings if anyone is crossing or waiting to cross

The examiner will also be looking to see that you:

  • Control your speed on your approach to Pedestrian Crossings
  • move off, after looking carefully to ensure it is safe
