Questions Learners Have About GB Pedestrian Crossings

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising GB Pedestrian Crossings, including how questions match the official theory exam in Great Britain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the main difference between a pelican and a puffin crossing in Great Britain?

Pelican crossings have a flashing amber light phase after red, allowing pedestrians to finish crossing. Puffin crossings use sensors to detect pedestrians and hold the red light until the crossing is clear, then go straight to a steady amber before green.

When MUST I stop at a zebra crossing?

You MUST give way to any pedestrian who has moved onto the crossing. It's also advised to give way to pedestrians waiting to cross.

Can I overtake on zig-zag lines near a pedestrian crossing?

No, you MUST NOT overtake any moving vehicle nearest the crossing, or any vehicle that has stopped to give way to pedestrians, nor should you overtake or park on the zig-zag lines themselves. This is to ensure clear lines of sight.

What should I do if a school crossing patrol warden steps into the road?

You MUST stop and wait until the warden has returned to the pavement. They have legal authority to stop traffic to help children cross safely.

Is it safe to wave pedestrians across a crossing?

No, it is dangerous to wave pedestrians across. Another vehicle might not see your signal or the pedestrian, or may not be able to stop safely, leading to a dangerous situation.
