Zorluk: ZorTraffic Lights and Signals

You are approaching a pelican crossing when the signal changes from steady red to flashing amber. A pedestrian is currently walking across the carriageway, and another pedestrian is waiting on the pavement about to step onto the crossing. Which action must you take?

  1. A
    Proceed immediately across the crossing before the waiting pedestrian steps off the pavement.
  2. B
    Flash your headlights to signal the pedestrian waiting on the pavement to cross ahead of your vehicle.
  3. Give way to the pedestrian on the crossing, but proceed with caution once they have cleared without waiting for the pedestrian on the pavement.Cevap
  4. D
    Remain stationary and wait for both the pedestrian on the crossing and the pedestrian on the pavement to cross completely.

Cevap

Give way to the pedestrian on the crossing, but proceed with caution once they have cleared without waiting for the pedestrian on the pavement.
Under Highway Code Rule 196, the flashing amber phase at a pelican crossing means you MUST give way to any pedestrians already on the crossing. However, once the pedestrian on the crossing has safely stepped onto the pavement and the crossing is clear, you may proceed with caution without waiting for pedestrians who are still on the pavement.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the specific crossing type and signal phase shown.
The signal is at a pelican crossing displaying a flashing amber light following a steady red phase.
Pelican crossings operate with a unique flashing amber phase between red and green.
2
Apply the statutory rule under Highway Code Rule 196 for flashing amber lights.
Drivers must give way to any pedestrian who is already walking on the crossing.
Pedestrians on the carriageway retain right of way until they reach the safety of the pavement.
3
Determine the legal requirement regarding pedestrians waiting on the pavement during flashing amber.
Drivers may proceed with caution as soon as the crossing is clear, even if other pedestrians are waiting on the pavement.
Unlike zebra crossings or red light phases, the flashing amber phase does not mandate stopping for pedestrians waiting on the kerb who have not yet started crossing.
