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

You arrive at an operating school crossing in the ACT. Where must you stop and for how long?

The answer

  • Only if a crossing supervisor signals you
  • At the kerb line, until the nearest child has passed
  • At the white hold lines, remaining stationary until the crossing is clear of all pedestrians Correct
  • Three metres back, for at least five seconds

Why that's the answer

Vehicles must stop at the white hold lines and remain stationary until the crossing is clear of all pedestrians - not merely until there is a gap.
