Here are some tips to make sure that pedestrians are safe when using
pedestrian crossovers (crosswalks).
Drivers:- use extra caution when approaching a
crossover
- pay attention to any pedestrian who may be about to enter the
crossover
- watch for flashing lights at a crossover
- be prepared to stop
when it is clear that pedestrians are about to use or are using a crossover
- do not pass another vehicle as you approach a crossover. (It is illegal to
pass within 30 metres of a crossover)
Pedestrians:- push the button at
the crossover, point, pause and proceed with caution across the road
- enter
the roadway only after you have determined that all drivers see you and are
prepared to stop
- use care and caution when crossing the
road
Pedestrian crossovers are a useful method of assisting pedestrians
in crossing the road where no traffic lights exist. Following these tips helps both pedestrians and drivers make pedestrian crossovers as safe as possible.
