Pedestrian Crossings | Learn to drive: Highway Code

Pedestrian Crossings are in almost every village, town and city across the UK and we must understand how they work so we can drive safely. In the UK we have five different types of pedestrian crossing, so in this video, we will explain each type, and how we should deal with them as a driver.

What really annoys me about pedestrians is when they press the wait signal on the pedestrian crossing and then cross the road there are some pedestrian crossings where I live that have the smart camera technology what that does is when a pedestrian is waiting to cross and does not Cross the pedestrian crossing smart camera technology will cancel the wait signal the pedestrian crossing stays Green

[@georgebarnes4561]

I passed my driving test on the 31st! I don’t think i could’ve passed without your videos, and i only had 3 driving lessons. Thank you all so much!!!

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Well done! 🚙👍🏼😃

[@Enlifted]

How did you get only 3 lessons? I’m on my like 6th week and she said there’s not a date where you do your practical test because it depends on how confident you are on the road and stuff

[@Olivia-rm6si]

Wow 3 lessons am shocked

[@grassytramtracks]

3 lessons? Wow!

[@sohailislam3416]

I’ve never ever heard of someone passing with 3 lessons😮

Good information video

[@travismichael351]

Please can you make a video on how 2 drive in city trafic in different types of roads like when to manouver when it is safe to switch lanes in inner city how to not be a havoc in a crossing how to follow people how to not be a problem for other drivers how to keep your calm i have seen a lot of videos labeled as driving in traffic while they are driving in mainly easy single lane roads whith not lots of traffic i would really appreciate a one hour video showing driving inner city in different types of roads 2 lanes 3 lanes 1 lane i mean with heavy traffic and heavy crossing and hard stuff i reqlly want to see a proffesional how he does it?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Thanks for the idea - but we don't live in a city! The nearest we can do is this: Driving in a town centre: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roXKpnRta66tfsk

[@mamamami7072]

Name few things that you dont like about your Electric car?... Love your videos ♥️♥️

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

They really are excellent everyday cars. However you can feel the extra weight of the battery when cornering, and on longer journeys there aren’t enough rapid chargers yet. We would never go back to a liquid fuelled car now!

[@johndd9140]

Two thumbs down to this vid as I type: who were they, and why??? 😒 was it one BMW driver, the other an Audi driver? 😛 This is a brilliant tutorial (and channel) - I've passed but I'm still watching and learning.

[@lesa1378]

Big up to the road crossing actress! 😁

[@philkelly4732]

Please confirm the purpose of the Silver metal studs set in the road particularly at Pedestrian Crossings - Treat as you would a Yellow Box?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

They are there to help show where the pedestrian crossing is on the road. Vehicles should avoid blocking the crossing when in a queue. 👍🏼

[@yaseminkaya4976]

Hi do you have to stop at a pedestrian Refudge (which is not on a crossing) if someone is waiting to cross there. Are drivers also meant to know the difference between pelican and pecan crossings when driving Thank you for the help much appreciated

If on the driving test and a animal comes out in the middle of the road and will not move if I sound my horn. Is it ok for me to put on my hazard lights?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

That sounds like the best thing to do in that situation 👍🏼

[@lucifermorningstar4503]

What can i do if im crossing a zabra crossing . Ive steped out and car still not stopping at all . Happens every day in Hastings

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

There are poor drivers everywhere - just be extra careful!

[@Luki-jz6gm]

What if simply someone walking on the pavement (without signs to cross the road), and by the time I get to zebra crossing we will both be there at same time. I think I should just carry on as normal unless they stop and look for clear road as it's not right to just step on the road without looking. What I mean is you can't just stop everytime someone walking past zebra crossing, bit yeah there's cases people walk though without looking.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We would slow a little and keep an eye on them, just in case. Unless they jump in front of us, it’s safer to keep rolling than brake suddenly and get rear ended.

[@mbsmile78]

@Advance Driving School Please add more Automatic driving videos. Really helpful, keep up the good work!

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

What would you like us to film about automatic cars?

[@mbsmile78]

Thanks for the quick reply, would be really helpful to have extended videos of speed control in different scenarios with the acceleration pedal and braking suddenly, moving off. Appreciate your play list videos on how to drive automatic cars.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We have already made separate videos about those subjects. Whilst they were made in a manual car, those pedals work in exactly the same way. We will film with our auto cars whenever possible, so stay subscribed! Acceleration Sense: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6ubdKmbgdqVaK8 Progressive Braking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXemd2Wiq514mKM

[@mbsmile78]

Thanks, didn't check the expert skills video yet as I am still a beginner. Look forward to watching new Automatic videos. As always, very professional videos.

[@christopherdang1211]

If a pedestrian crosses a very wide road from your left to the right at the zebra crossing, do you have to wait until he/she steps on the right-hand curb?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Yes - as it’s not safe to squeeze past people on the crossing.

[@ixa.m9915]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool wht abt if there is an island in between??

[@harrybrown4952]

@@ixa.m9915Then you can pass them. As written in the Highway Code, if theres an island that split the crossing into two halves, they are treated as seperate crossings

[@J-Vasa]

The toucan crossing looks exactly like the first zebra crossing. Whats the difference? I dont think there are any markings to show that a bike can cross? 5:10. It mentions lights changing but its just the yellow flashing lights from the zebra crossing?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Toucan crossings are normally controlled by traffic lights - however we don’t have any locally so used that video clip as the cyclist decided to cross in front of us!

[@grassytramtracks]

​​​@@AdvanceDrivingSchool that type with a zebra crossing and a cycleway across the road is a tiger crossing, though I think they should be called zoucan crossings (but the crossing in the video wasn't a tiger crossing)

[@chuipingchu1636]

Oops, the name of the narrator was Ann. Such a beautiful name indeed. I love her classic English and her voice too.

[@lalayatem3758]

In crossings with an island in a middle, can we go if they are walking towards the island?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

When there is an island, treat each side as a separate crossing. 👍🏼

[@ixa.m9915]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool so we can go if pedestrians r crossing the other side?

[@grahvis]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool . Even if there is a traffic island, unless the crossings are staggered, a Pelican crossing is just one crossing.

[@johnfletcher1036]

Why are there so many bus stops alongside the crossing zig zag lines? Are bus drivers breaking the law by stopping at them?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

[@chuipingchu1636]

I have noticed that too 😆😆😆

[@Sufficient4UsIsAllah]

This is so confusing The high way code states: ‘Zebra crossings. Remember that traffic does not have to stop until someone has moved onto the crossing. Drivers and riders should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross and MUST give way to pedestrians on a zebra crossing (see Rule H2). It sounds as if it’s saying that you don’t have to stop until someone has stepped into the crossing?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

There is a difference between ‘should’ and ‘must’. ‘Should’ is just advice that we should follow, but ‘Must’ is a law that we must obey. What do you think is the safest thing to do when someone is waiting to cross?

[@ixa.m9915]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool should give way..bt even if we dunt we r nt breakung any law as its nt a must!.. suppose we r going at high speed nd spotted a pedestrian waiting quite late nd breaking suddenly would cause rear collision..shouldnt we jst keep going then with pedestrian still waiting..bt if there is pedestrian infrnt of us crossing then its a different scenario

[@Coolcarting]

2:10 you didn't need to stop. Remember that traffic does not have to stop until someone has moved onto the crossing.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

If someone wants to cross, we are happy to stop and let them.

[@Coolcarting]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Then you have created a hazard by stopping in the road by being courteous.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Not if you check your mirrors before stopping, and brake smoothly. 😉
