Zebra crossing ahead
A red triangle with a Zebra-stripe symbol warns of an unsignalised pedestrian crossing ahead. At a Zebra crossing, you MUST give way to anyone on the crossing or clearly waiting to step on. Slow down on the approach; failure to give way is a common cause of test fails and a serious offence in collision cases.
