Traffic safetyQuestion #16321
What must this pedestrian do when the amber signal comes on for them?
Explanation
When the amber signal comes on, a pedestrian who has already started crossing the carriageway must finish crossing it or stop on a safety island. In this situation there is no safety island, so the safest thing is to finish crossing quickly. Standing in the middle of the carriageway without an island would be dangerous, and going back is no less risky.
KET reference: KET 46: when the amber traffic-light signal comes on, pedestrians must finish crossing the carriageway or stop on a safety island.
