If you have stopped at a pelican crossing and a disabled person is crossing slowly, and the lights change to green, what should you do?

When you are stopped at a pelican crossing and a disabled person is crossing slowly, it is important to prioritize their safety and well-being. Allowing the person to cross is the correct response because the pelican crossing is designed to provide a safe passage for pedestrians, including those with disabilities.

The green light indicates that vehicles may proceed, but this does not override the presence of a pedestrian already utilizing the crossing. By allowing the person to continue crossing, you demonstrate respect for their right of way and ensure that they can cross safely without feeling rushed or in danger. This approach not only reflects good driving practice but also upholds the principles of road safety and courtesy towards vulnerable road users.
