What should I look for when I’m approaching a pedestrian crossing?

As you are approach a crossing
  • You should look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and you should be ready to slow down or stop to let them cross
  • You MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing
  • You should allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads
  • You MUST not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching
  • You should be aware of pedestrians approaching from the side of the crossing.

Watch out for pedestrian walking close to crossings as they may start to cross without looking at the traffic.

If a motorcyclist is going above speed limit (slightly) and filter light is blocking vision of other side of the road and central reservation and a child runs out, who is responsible?
