Traffic order and driving through intersectionsQuestion #15478
You are driving straight through a controlled junction. The traffic light shows green. Must you give way to pedestrians who did not manage to finish crossing the carriageway?
Explanation
A driver’s duty is to keep pedestrians safe. Even on a permitting signal, you must give way to pedestrians who stepped onto the carriageway on their permitting signal but did not manage to finish crossing. Safety comes before formal priority.
