Pedestrian Crossing Signs: Practice Questions

This small topic links signs and behaviour around pedestrian crossings. A red-framed warning triangle announces a pedestrian crossing ahead, while a blue square sign marks the location of the crossing itself. A warning sign showing two children tells you to expect children crossing, for example near a school. The topic also touches on priority between road users, noting that passenger cars and bicycles are given priority over other slow-moving vehicles. Treat any crossing as a place where you may need to stop.
