Examples

The crossing, or a road beyond the crossing, may be blocked by congested traffic, a disabled vehicle, a collision between vehicles or between a vehicle and a pedestrian, or by a fallen load on the road.

Note

Children's crossing, enter, marked foot crossing and pedestrian crossing are defined in the dictionary.

Note

The application of this rule is modified by regulation 78AAA of the Traffic Regulations 1999.

(3) Subrule (2) applies despite anything to the contrary in rule 171 or 172.
