South Australia · Learner's Theory Test · Road rules

You approach an 'emu' children's crossing with red and white posts and children-crossing flags displayed. A child is about to step onto the crossing. What must you do?

The answer

  • Slow down and drive around the child
  • Continue at the same speed if the child has not yet stepped out
  • Sound your horn and proceed
  • Stop, and do not proceed until no pedestrian or bicycle rider is on or entering the crossing Correct

Why that's the answer

An emu crossing operates when the children-crossing flags are displayed. You must stop when any pedestrian or bicycle rider is on or entering the crossing and remain stopped until the crossing is clear.
