When approaching a pedestrian crossing marked only with road markings, when must you stop?

Correct answer

Whenever a pedestrian is crossing it or shows an intention to do so.

Pedestrian crossings marked only with road markings on the carriageway, consisting of a series of broad lines parallel to and transverse to the carriageway’s axis, are intended to facilitate pedestrians’ safe crossing. When approaching these crossings, drivers must watch for pedestrians and must stop whenever a pedestrian is crossing or shows an intention to do so. If people are already crossing, drivers must stop and give way. Drivers must also stop if a pedestrian is clearly waiting to cross or makes a gesture indicating an intention to begin crossing.
