What it means
Indicates an area where pedestrians have the right of way. Drivers must exercise extreme caution and yield to all foot traffic.
What to do
- Expect people to step off kerbs and cross; scan pavements and refuges, not only the carriageway.
- Slow enough that you can stop if someone moves into your path.
- Never push through a gap that relies on a pedestrian jumping back.
In the K53 test
Priority here is about attitude: you yield until people are safe, not until you are slightly inconvenienced.
Where you will see it
At the entrance to an area intended for pedestrians.
