Cevap

Give way and remain stopped until the pedestrian has safely cleared the crossing, and allow the pedestrian to cross at their own pace without revving your engine.
Under The Highway Code (Rule 196), a flashing amber light at a pelican crossing means you must give way to pedestrians who are already on the crossing. You should remain stationary until they have reached the pavement safely, giving them time without intimidation such as revving the engine or edging forward.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the meaning of the flashing amber signal at a pelican crossing.
Understand that flashing amber permits moving forward only if the crossing is completely clear of pedestrians.
According to The Highway Code, drivers must give way to any pedestrians still on a pelican crossing during the flashing amber phase.
2
Select safe and considerate actions toward the pedestrian.
Remain completely stationary and avoid impatient actions like revving the engine, sounding the horn, or driving around them.
Pedestrians are vulnerable road users who may take longer to cross, and drivers must not intimidate them or create hazardous conflicts.
