Does a pedestrian crossing the road at a courtesy crossing have the right of way over an approaching vehicle?
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No. A suggested crossing is not a pedestrian crossing within the meaning of art. 13 of the Road Traffic Act. A pedestrian using such a place is treated as someone crossing away from a pedestrian crossing and must give way to vehicles. A suggested crossing is only an infrastructure convenience (for example a lowered kerb) and gives the pedestrian no special rights.
