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

You see a yellow and red pedestrian refuge zone ahead. What should you do?

The answer

  • Slow down and watch for children and other pedestrians crossing Correct
  • Stop completely before passing it
  • Move to the right lane and accelerate past
  • Maintain speed - the island separates you from pedestrians

Why that's the answer

Refuge zones exist because people are crossing a busy street in two stages. When you see one, slow down and watch for children and other pedestrians.
