Pedestrians and zebra crossings
You let pedestrians and drivers of a disability vehicle go first who cross on a zebra crossing (zebrapad) or clearly want to cross. You always let a blind person with a white cane (with one or more red rings) and anyone who moves with difficulty go first, also away from a zebra crossing. When you turn, you also let the pedestrians go first who are crossing the road you are turning into.
Watch the animation questionZebra crossing aheadWhat you do in practice
- Someone standing at the edge of the pavement by a zebra crossing and looking at the road? Stop and let them cross.
- Look at the pavement beside the zebra crossing too: someone walking briskly may cross in a moment.
- The car ahead of you stops at a zebra crossing? Do not overtake: someone is probably crossing.
The mistake many people make
Only stopping when someone is already on the zebra crossing. Someone who is clearly about to cross goes first too.
