With the zebra pedestrian crossing near the clock tower and the courtesy crossing on north Broadway now complete, it’s a good time for a reminder on how to look after your own safety, and the welfare of others, too.
Zebra pedestrian crossings
Pedestrians: Please check that all approaching drivers have seen you and have stopped before you cross the road. Cross as quickly as you’re safely able to.
Drivers: When coming up to the crossing, slow down and be ready to stop for any pedestrians on or stepping onto the crossing, including people waiting to use the crossing. You must wait until the person crossing is clear of you and your vehicle before you proceed.
Courtesy crossings
Pedestrians: Use these crossings with extra care because drivers don’t have to stop for pedestrians at courtesy crossings.
Drivers: Although not official pedestrian crossings, courtesy crossings provide a safe place for people needing to cross. Please be courteous to people using a courtesy crossing.
