SituationsQuestion #16156
You are approaching an unregulated pedestrian crossing in your car. The road has one lane in each direction. A pedestrian is standing right by the crossing, waiting for a chance to cross. What must you do?
Explanation
Your duty is not only to let through pedestrians already crossing but also those clearly waiting to step onto the crossing. On a road with a single lane in each direction, you must let through a pedestrian waiting by either lane — so here you stop and let them cross.
KET reference: KET 30: approaching an unregulated pedestrian crossing, the driver must slow down or stop; on a road with one lane each way, give way to a pedestrian standing right by the crossing and waiting to step on.
