Pedestrian crossings in Ireland
Pedestrian crossings give people on foot a safe place to cross, and the theory test checks that you know the different types and the rules at each.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ At a zebra crossing you must give way to pedestrians waiting to cross or already crossing.
- ◆ A pelican crossing uses signals; a flashing amber means give way to pedestrians still crossing.
- ◆ A toucan crossing is shared by pedestrians and cyclists, who may cross together.
- ◆ Never overtake a vehicle that has stopped at a crossing, and do not park on the zig-zag lines.
- ◆ Always be ready to stop -- never wave a pedestrian across, as another driver may not see them.
