Zorluk: OrtaPedestrian Crossings

You are approaching a pelican crossing and observe that the traffic light has switched to flashing amber while pedestrians are still walking across the roadway. What must you do in this situation?

  1. A
    Flash your headlights repeatedly to encourage the pedestrians to hurry across the road
  2. Give way to the pedestrians and wait until they have completely cleared the crossingCevap
  3. C
    Overtake any stationary vehicle ahead within the zig-zag markings if the other lane is open
  4. D
    Proceed immediately without stopping because a flashing amber signal gives vehicles priority over pedestrians

Cevap

Give way to the pedestrians and wait until they have completely cleared the crossing
According to the UK Highway Code (Rule 196), a flashing amber light at a pelican crossing means you MUST give way to any pedestrians who are already on the crossing. You may only move off if the crossing is completely clear.
