Older and disabled pedestrians and road users often have distinct visual indicators and mobility characteristics. Which driver awareness consideration corresponds to each road user situation? Match each road user situation on the left with its correct safety consideration on the right.
- An older pedestrian preparing to cross the road at a junctionThey may take significantly longer to cross and might misjudge the speed of approaching traffic
- A pedestrian holding a white stick with red reflective bandsThey are deafblind and cannot rely on seeing or hearing approaching vehicles
- A pedestrian accompanied by an assistance dog wearing a burgundy coatThey are deaf or hard of hearing and may not hear engine sounds from approaching vehicles
- A disabled person riding a mobility scooter along the carriagewayThey travel at a low speed of up to 8 mph and have a lower visual profile among traffic
Cevap
An older pedestrian preparing to cross matches with needing extra crossing time and potentially misjudging vehicle speeds; a pedestrian with a red-banded white stick matches with being deafblind; a pedestrian with a burgundy-coated dog matches with having a hearing impairment; and a mobility scooter user on the carriageway matches with traveling at up to 8 mph with a lower visual profile.
According to the UK Highway Code, older pedestrians may take longer to cross the road and may misjudge approaching vehicle speeds. A white cane with red reflective bands indicates that the person is deafblind. An assistance dog wearing a burgundy coat is trained by Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, signaling that the handler is hard of hearing. Mobility scooters permitted on the road (Class 3) have a maximum speed of 8 mph and a low profile, requiring extra driver vigilance.
