   What should I do if a pedestrian crosses a road?

   • If you are in a queue of vehicles that extends over a crossing, you should keep the crossing clear and look out for pedestrians who might be in the road. As a pedestrian or cyclist, for your own safety, do not cross the road within the area marked by the zig-zags: keep to the crossing.

   Can you cross a road with a pedestrian?

   • But, using pedestrian crossings is not always possible. Find an area where you can see in all directions if they are not available. Check to make sure you can reach the other side in a direct route (not diagonal). Crossing the road between parked cars is particularly dangerous for small children and for vulnerable pedestrians. Stop at the kerbside.

   How do you know if a pedestrian is crossing a road?

   • Unlike in older crossings, the green figure does not flash before the signals change back to red. If the red figure comes on when you are about to cross, press the push button and do not cross. Traffic will still be held on red for those pedestrians who are already crossing the road when the red figure comes on.

   How do cyclists cross the road?

   • Cyclists who need to cross the road will be directed to a cycle facility off the main carriageway, adjacent to the waiting area for pedestrians. Near-side signals include red and green pedal cycle symbols, together with a call button for use by both pedestrians and cyclists. These signals operate in a similar manner to those for puffin crossings.

   Can a pedestrian cross a zig zag road?

   • Pedestrians should never cross the road within the zig-zag area. Drivers should stop at the broken ‘give way’ line (about 1 metre before the crossing) when pedestrians are using the crossing. You should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross and must give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing.

   When should a driver stop at a pedestrian crossing?

   • Drivers should stop at the broken ‘give way’ line (about 1 metre before the crossing) when pedestrians are using the crossing. You should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross and must give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing. Some crossings may be close to junctions where queuing takes place (e.g. at a roundabout).

   • Pavements and footways (including any path along the side of a road) should be used if provided. Where possible, avoid being next to the kerb with your back to the traffic.
   • If there is no pavement, keep to the right-hand side of the road so that you can see oncoming traffic. You should take extra care and. be prepared to walk in single file, especially on narrow roads or in poor light.
   • Help other road users to see you. Wear or carry something light-coloured, bright or fluorescent in poor daylight conditions. When it is dark, use reflective materials (eg armbands, sashes, waistcoats, jackets, footwear), which can be seen by drivers using headlights up to three times as far away as non-reflective materials.
   • Young children should not be out alone on the pavement or road (see Rule 7). When taking children out, keep between them and the traffic and hold their hands firmly.
