You must give way:

  

An obligation to give way requires you to give clear indication of your intention to give way to other vehicles by slowing down or stopping in plenty of time.

You must give way:

At uncontrolled pedestrian crossings where pedestrians have already stepped out or are just about to step on to the crossing.

As you turn onto the road from a parking lot, a gas station, a residential area, a pedestrian way, the hard shoulder or an off-road area.

This is known as the Exit or Entering Rule.

To traffic coming up from the left. Vehicles approaching a junction or crossroads from the left have priority.

This is known as the Left Hand Rule.

To oncoming traffic as you prepare to turn left and to all vehicles using the carriageway you will enter as you make the turn.

This is known as the Turning rule.

As instructed by traffic lights and traffic signs

Note: You must not attempt to pass through the crossing if by so doing you might obstruct, impede or endanger other road users.

Respect for pedestrians and cyclists

 

Respect for pedestrians and cyclists

Controlled pedestrian crossing are defined as all crossing controlled by a police officer or a traffic light. All other types of crossing are deemed as uncontrolled pedestrian crossing, even though a traffic signal may be flashing amber.

Avoid overtaking cyclists at intersections. Keep plenty of space from the cyclists for they often wobble.

Slow down and stop if you see that a pedestrian is waiting to cross the road.

Probable causes of pedestrian crossing accidents:

The driver did not notice or ignored the pedestrian at the side of the crossing.

The driver's view was obstructed, perhaps by the door post of his or her car.

The driver was going too fast and had insufficient time to watch the road, as he/she should

The driver overtook a vehicle that had stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross the road.
