What is a wombat crossing in the ACT?

The answer

  • A wildlife crossing sign on rural roads
  • A pedestrian crossing marked across a raised speed hump section of street Correct
  • A crossing that operates only at night
  • An unmarked crossing point at a roundabout

Why that's the answer

Wombat crossings are pedestrian crossings marked across a raised, speed-hump type section of road, used where vehicle speeds need to come down to make the crossing safer for children, the elderly and slower pedestrians. They are clearly signposted.
