Which TWO of the following statements about pedestrians crossing the road are correct? Select TWO
Article 10 of the Road Traffic Act sets out both the rules and the exceptions for pedestrians crossing the road. Sort out which route to take when crossing, whether crossing right in front of or behind a stopped vehicle is allowed, whether there is any exception where a safety sign prohibits crossing, and what exception applies to people with physical disabilities.
Answer: ①, ④
Explanation
Under Article 10(3) of the Road Traffic Act, pedestrians must cross by the shortest route where there is no crosswalk, and under the proviso of paragraph 2, a person with a physical disability who cannot use an underpass or overpass may cross without it in a way that does not obstruct other traffic. Paragraph 4 forbids crossing directly in front of or behind a vehicle unless using a crosswalk or following a signal or instruction. Under paragraph 5, a place where crossing is prohibited by a safety sign must not be crossed even when no vehicle is coming.
