BDifficulty 2/5

Must a person with a disability travelling at walking pace in a wheelchair on a shoulder obey officers and traffic lights applicable to them?

Correct answer

Yes, obey officers and applicable traffic lights.

Yes. They are treated as a pedestrian and must obey officers and applicable signs and signals. Wheelchair use provides no exemption. Officers’ directions take precedence over traffic lights if they conflict. This does not require obeying signals addressed only to other users or establish a universal rule to keep right.
