Thanks Howard, really enjoy the videos, thanks for doing them. Useful revision in Lockdown. I'm an ADI and was taught, and teach, like you that if a pedestrian is on a crossing a driver should wait until the pedestrian steps off the crossing. I have been challenged by a retired Police Traffic Inspector with a Law Degree (frightening combination) that I am wrong. He is correct in saying the 1997 legislation says "25.—(1) Every pedestrian, if he is on the carriageway within the limits of a Zebra crossing, ....shall have precedence within those limits over that vehicle and the driver of the vehicle shall accord such precedence to any such pedestrian. " He says according precedence means as soon as the pedestrian has passed in front of the vehicle the motorist is allowed to and should proceed if it is safe to do so. I said I thought someone would fail their test if they did as he recommended, his response was the failed candidate should go to court and appeal the decision as it is not legally valid.
Section 26 then refers to the difference between Zebra and Pelican crossings with central pedestrian refuges is worth a read; a non staggered Pelican is a single crossing, a non staggered Zebra is treated as two.

Pegasus is the winged horse. Half-horse, half-human creature is a centaur. However, all your information with regard to modern traffic management is excellent. :-)

Hi Howard, love your videos, quick question if I may.
11:50 you say if a pedestrian is waiting they have priority.
Legally speaking they don't have priority until they step onto the crossing.
However I also know you will fail your test if you don't stop and give way to pedestrians waiting to cross on the pavement.
So in the part 3/SC, telling them they must stop for a waiting pedestrian (as I do) how would that information stand with regards to the marking sheet under:
"Was the technical information given comprehensive, appropriate and accurate? "
(especially the "accurate" part)

Very useful info. Really enjoy watching these videos and learn a lot too. Can you tell me when there are no zig zag lines at a traffic light does it mean its not a pedestrian crossing?

Do you always have to slow down on approach to pedestrian crossings?
