Q677: Does a pedestrian have right of way on a zebra crossing?
Yes they do, it is an offence not to give precedence to a pedestrian on a zebra crossing.
As you approach a zebra crossing:
-
look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and be ready to slow down or stop to let them cross
-
you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing
-
allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads
-
do not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching
-
be aware of pedestrians approaching from the side of the crossing.
