Its purpose is to advise whether Australia should amend its road rules to allow this practice. Three types of crossings are considered: unsignalised crossings (such as zebra crossings), signalised mid-block crossings and signalised intersection crossings. Many different rules and standards exist throughout the world regarding this topic. In most countries, cyclists are not authorised to cycle on pedestrian crossings. Some European countries have a cycle equivalent of a zebra crossing, where cyclists are entitled to cycle across a road at the crossing and are given right of way over motorists. Zebra crossings are the most common type of unsignalised mid-block crossing, although they take many shapes and forms between and within different countries.

  • Pedestrian, Cycle and Equestrian Crossings
    Pedestrian, cycle and equestrian crossings Zig-zag road markings The zig-zag markings at crossings are there to ensure that drivers and pedestrians can see each other clearly. As a driver, you must not park your vehicle anywhere within these markings (before or after the crossing). Also, you must not overtake a moving motor vehicle within the zig-zag area before the crossing, nor must you overtake a vehicle that has stopped next to the crossing either to obey signals or because pedestrians are using a Zebra crossing (see page 127). If you are in a queue of vehicles that extends over a crossing, you should keep the crossing clear and look out for pedestrians who might be in the road. As a pedestrian, for your own safety, do not cross the road within the area marked by the zig-zags: keep to the crossing. Crossings for cyclists or horse riders also have zig-zag markings, and the above rules apply to these also. pedestrian, cycle and equestrian crossings Puffin crossings The Puffin is the latest type of pedestrian crossing controlled by signals. It can detect the movement of pedestrians, so that it can give them enough time to cross safely and keep any delay to drivers to a minimum. The pedestrian crossing time is automatically varied according to the actual needs of the pedestrian and, if after the push button has been pressed the pedestrian decides to walk away, the call is automatically cancelled and the pedestrian phase will not appear. This avoids unnecessary delay to vehicular traffic and the irritation that might be caused by stopping vehicles when no pedestrians are waiting to cross.

  • Safer Crossing Places
    STOP Contents Page Topic Page Crossing The Road 2 Pelican Crossing 3 Puffin Crossing 4 Toucan crossing 5 Pegasus/Equestrian Crossing 6 Zebra Crossing 7 School Crossing Patrol 8 Other Crossings 9-10 Crossing Between Parked Cars 11 Crossing without a Pedestrian Crossing 12 Top Tips 13-14 1 Crossing The Road There are many different types of crossings to help you get across the road safer. You may already know some of them but you should hopefully learn a lot of new ones too! Don’t just presume because it is a crossing place that it is safe. Car drivers can get distracted and may go straight through the crossing while you are on it. Therefore make sure you always use the Green Cross Code when crossing the road. Getting eye contact with the drivers that you are crossing in front of to ensure they’ve seen you. Green Cross Code Think - Is this a safe place to cross the road, or are there any safer places nearby? Stop – Feet flat on the pavement and stand a step back from the edge of the kerb. Look – All around for traffic and into the distance too! Listen – We can sometimes hear traffic before we can see it. Look and listen – All the way across to the other side. For younger children: ‘Hold hands with a grown up’ 2 Pelican Crossing PELICAN = Pedestrian Light Controlled Crossing A pelican and puffin crossing are very similar but there are a few important differences. Green/red man appears on the pole across the road.
