At a pedestrian crossing, should you signal to pedestrians to cross the roadway?
Traffic rules
Explanation
At a **pedestrian crossing**, drivers must yield to pedestrians. This is indicated by **wide lines on the road** that signal to drivers that they must stop and allow pedestrians to cross.
It is important not to signal to pedestrians to cross, as other drivers may not have seen the pedestrians. If a driver signals, it could give pedestrians a false sense of security, and other vehicles that have not seen the pedestrians might not stop, creating a dangerous situation. Therefore, it is better to let pedestrians cross when they consider it safe to do so, without intervention from drivers.
