Paths at the roundabout

You are waiting to cross near a roundabout exit. Vehicles may arrive from the circle, the approach road and a turn behind you. What is the strongest first step?

Stay back and map every path that can reach the crossing before choosing a clearly safe moment: Exactly. Junction safety begins with the whole movement map, not the nearest vehicle alone.

Watch only the nearest vehicle: You noticed one path, but another turning path could still reach you. Scan the whole junction.

Cross as soon as one vehicle signals away from you: A signal is a clue, not a complete check of every vehicle and path.

The hidden driveway

A parked car and bus shelter hide a driveway that crosses the pavement. What should you do before passing it?

Keep back, look and listen for movement clues, then use a position where the driveway is clearly visible: Good. You treated the hidden driveway as missing information and found a clearer viewing position.

Step into the driveway to see around the parked car: That puts you inside the possible vehicle path before you can verify it. Stay outside the path.

Continue because you cannot hear an engine: A quiet vehicle or background noise can defeat a sound-only check. You still need a clear view.

The familiar shortcut is closed

Barriers close your usual pavement and signs direct pedestrians to another crossing. Your usual route looks shorter. What should happen?

Stop safely and follow the signed temporary pedestrian route with the responsible adult: Right. Works change the route and sightlines; the temporary route replaces the familiar shortcut.

Move around the barrier if no machine is moving right now: A barrier marks an area you should not enter. Conditions can change before you see or hear them.

Walk in the road beside the works to save time: Do not invent a route beside moving traffic. Use the protected signed route.

A second train may follow

A train passes, but the warning remains active and the barrier is still down. What is the decision?

Stay behind the boundary and wait until every warning ends and the crossing is clearly opened: Correct. The warning controls the decision; another train or tram may still be approaching.

Cross because the train you saw has passed: One passing train does not cancel an active warning. Another rail movement may follow.

Go around the barrier if the rails look empty: Never bypass a crossing boundary or active warning. Wait for the crossing to open normally.

Beside the large truck

A large truck is waiting to turn. You are beside its front corner and cannot see the driver's mirror. What is the safest plan?

Choose one answer
Read all explanations

Move away from the vehicle's path, stay well back and wait for a clearly separated route: Exactly. No mirror view means you must assume the driver may not see you; distance is safer than trying to gain eye contact.

Move closer until you can see the mirror: Never test a blind spot by moving closer. The vehicle can move or turn through that space.

Squeeze between the truck and the kerb before it turns: A long vehicle may use that side space while turning, and the driver may not see you there.
