Rule 21 :
Navigating Signal - Controlled Crossings Safely
USING PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS
Start Crossing on the Green Figure
Only begin your crossing when the green pedestrian figure is clearly displayed .
Continue if the Signal Changes
If you are already in the road and the green figure goes out , proceed to the other side without delay ; there is timed buffer to reach safety .
Applicable Crossing Types
These rules apply at standard traffic lights as well as specialized Puffin and Pelican crossings .
CROSSINGS WITHOUT PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS
CONSTANT VIGILANCE & HAZARDS
Wait for Red Lights and Stopped Traffic
If no pedestrian light is provided , do not cross until the traffic lights turn red and ail approaching vehicles have come to a complete stop .
Check for Turning Traffic
Even when the way seems clear , keep looking and specifically check for vehicles that may be turning the corner into your path .
Multiple Lane Awareness
Be aware that traffic lights can allow movement in specific lanes while others remain stopped ; do not assume the whole road is safe just because one lane has halted .
