Manor Street Hazard Awareness Practice
Recognise the pedestrian approaching the crossing. An intermediate scene set at Manor Street · R680 in Waterford.
The situation
Watch the person walking towards the zebra crossing. Identify the developing hazard and brake early rather than waiting for them to step out.
What makes it tricky
The person is crossing. Keep the car stopped until the crossing is clear.
The rule
Approach crossings ready to stop. A pedestrian waiting to cross needs your attention even before stepping onto the road.
- Rules of the Road, Section 19 · Respecting other road users (Pedestrians)
Getting it right
