4. Crossing At Traffic Lights
Controlled crossings can also be at intersections with traffic lights or "robots".
- Keep between the solid white lines and watch for moving vehicles
- Cross briskly to avoid being run over by impatient motorists
- Beware of drivers turning where they are crossing
- Beware of drivers and cross carefully when the light is green
- Do not cross when is red. Only cross when the green man shows and when it is safe to do so.
- When the red man appears while you are in the middle of the road / street, continue crossing; but when you are still on the pavement, do not cross at all.
Most intersections have traffic lights which all road users - both motorists and pedestrians - have to obey.
- Do not cross when the light is red.
- Do not cross when the light shows amber / yellow.
- Cross when the light is green and if it is safe to do so.
