Answer: Answer

Answer

True
At a pelican crossing, the flashing amber light means drivers must give way to pedestrians who are already on the crossing. You may only proceed once the crossing is completely clear.

1
Identify the crossing type and signal state.
The crossing is a pelican crossing displaying a flashing amber traffic signal.
Different crossing types (such as pelican, puffin, and toucan) have specific operational rules for their signal phases.
2
Apply Highway Code Rule 196 regarding flashing amber lights.
Drivers must give way to any pedestrians still on the crossing, but may proceed if the road is clear.
This phase provides crossing pedestrians sufficient time to finish while preventing unnecessary traffic delays when clear.
