When a School Crossing Patrol steps into the road displaying a 'STOP for children' sign, you must remain completely stationary until both the children and the patrol officer have fully cleared the carriageway.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
The statement is true. In the UK, drivers are legally required to stop when signalled by a School Crossing Patrol displaying a 'STOP for children' sign. You must wait patiently and remain stationary until the officer and all pedestrians have completely left the carriageway and reached the pavement.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the legal authority and signal given by a School Crossing Patrol.
A School Crossing Patrol has statutory legal authority to stop road traffic using the official 'STOP for children' sign.
Understanding legal traffic control ensures compliance with UK road traffic regulations.
2
Determine the legal conditions required before moving the vehicle forward.
The driver must remain stopped until the road is completely clear of both children and the crossing patrol officer.
Premature movement endangers vulnerable road users who may move unpredictably or remain in the carriageway.
