Zebra crossings

 WELCOME BEST DRIVING SKILLS 

Zebra crossings

Look out for the yellow flashing amber 

beacons marking zebra crossings. Use 

the MSPSL routine. Check mirrors when 

you see the crossing. Look for people 

standing near or moving towards crossings, and try to work out in advance 

whether they are likely to cross. Check 

what is happening behind, and be ready 

to slow down. You must be travelling at 

such a speed that you can pull up safely

if a pedestrian steps out. Never accelerate towards a pedestrian crossing hoping to 

beat the pedestrian to it!

If your view of either side of the crossing 

is blocked, slow down as if people were 

crossing. Be ready to stop until you can 

see it is safe to continue.

Where you see pedestrians waiting to 

cross, check your mirrors and slow down. 

If you hold back early enough they may 

have time to go before you reach the crossing. Try to make eye contact with 

anyone waiting. This helps reassure them 

that they have been seen.

If you have time, give an arm signal for 

slowing down. This lets the pedestrian 

know what you are doing and also warns 

oncoming drivers that you are stopping.

 Do not give any kind of invitation for people to cross. Other drivers may not 

be stopping.

Some pedestrians find it more difficult than others to cross the road. Be patient and allow extra time for the old and infirm. People with prams cannot put a foot on to the crossing to claim priority. They will have to push the pram out. Others with small children also need more time. Young people are often 

impulsive and may dash out on to the crossing.

If the pedestrians are walking from your right to left, wait until they are on the pavement before moving away. If they are walking from left to right, give 

precedence to them, but you don’t need to wait until they are completely across before you proceed.

Do not startle or try to hurry pedestrians by edging forwards or revving your engine. If you are stopping for more than a couple of seconds, apply the parking brake.

Remember before moving away to check to the sides for other pedestrians in your blind spots.

If a zebra crossing has a central reserve, each half is a separate crossing 

and you only need to give way to people on your side of the road. Beware, 

however, people running towards the crossing on the right-hand carriage￾way; you should still be prepared to slow down and stop. READ MORE
