Australian Capital Territory · Road Rules Knowledge Test · Pedestrians and cyclists

Some ACT crossings now have flashing amber lights. How do the rules differ at these crossings?

The answer

  • You must stop and wait for the lights to stop flashing
  • They apply only during school hours
  • You may proceed without giving way while the amber flashes
  • They do not differ - the same rules apply as at crossings without lights Correct

Why that's the answer

The flashing amber lights make some ACT crossings more conspicuous, but the handbook is explicit that these crossings carry the same regulations as crossings without lights and should be negotiated the same way.
