What must you do when the amber light is flashing at a pelican crossing?
Pedestrian crossings can be stressful. Making sure that you understand what is expected of each signal is important to a safe driving experience.
If an amber light is flashing, you must give way to pedestrians already on the crossing. Pelican crossings are pedestrian-operated signalised crossings. The signals are changed using push-button controls. There is no red-and-amber stage before green at pelican crossings; instead, there is a flashing amber light. This indicates you must yield to pedestrians on the crossing, but if the crossing is clear, you may go.
