You are turning left or right at an intersection. What must you do about pedestrians?

The answer

  • Sound your horn to warn them, then proceed
  • Give way to any pedestrian crossing the road you are entering Correct
  • Nothing - pedestrians must wait for turning vehicles
  • Give way only if there is a marked pedestrian crossing

Why that's the answer

Drivers turning at an intersection must give way to any pedestrian crossing the road the driver is entering. This applies whether you are turning from the continuing or terminating road, with or without a marked crossing.
