Pedestrian Crossings Explained

Pedestrian crossings are a common topic in the UK theory test and the practical driving test.
You need to recognise the different types of crossings and understand the rules that apply to each one.
Many theory test questions ask about who has priority, what the traffic lights mean, and when you should stop or proceed.
Understanding crossings helps you keep pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders safe.
Knowing the differences between zebra, pelican, puffin, toucan, Pegasus, parallel, and staggered crossings can help you avoid easy mistakes in the test.
