You are driving along a two-way road with stationary queuing traffic on the opposite side. Ahead, a pedestrian is standing on a central refuge island, watching your lane to find a gap to cross. What should you do as you approach?

  1. A
    Flash your headlights and wave to signal to the pedestrian that it is safe to cross
  2. Reduce your speed, stay alert, and be prepared to stop without gesturing them acrossCevap
  3. C
    Maintain your speed and focus solely on the road directly ahead, assuming the pedestrian will stay on the island
  4. D
    Speed up past the stationary traffic queue, assuming no other pedestrians will step out from between vehicles

Cevap

Reduce your speed, stay alert, and be prepared to stop without gesturing them across.
When approaching pedestrians waiting on a central refuge island, drivers should reduce speed, remain observant, and be ready to stop. Drivers must never wave, flash headlights, or sound the horn to beckon them across, as another road user may approach unexpectedly, placing the pedestrian in grave danger.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the developing hazard
Recognise that a pedestrian on a central refuge island may attempt to cross your lane at any moment.
Pedestrians on refuge islands often look for small gaps in traffic and may misjudge vehicle speed.
2
Adjust vehicle speed and cover the brake
The vehicle slows down smoothly, allowing ample stopping distance if the pedestrian steps into the road.
Maintaining a controlled speed provides time and space to react to unexpected movements.
3
Refrain from giving beckoning signals
The pedestrian decides when it is safe to cross based on their own observation rather than an external prompt.
Beckoning someone across can lead them into the path of hidden or overtaking traffic.
