BDifficulty 2/5

With no pedestrian crossing or officer directing them, should a pedestrian cross the carriageway diagonally rather than perpendicular to its axis?

Correct answer

No, cross perpendicular to the carriageway’s axis.

No. When crossing, walk perpendicular to the carriageway’s axis, without unnecessary delay or stops and without obstructing others. First check that crossing is safe and causes no undue obstruction. Where pedestrian crossings exist in the area, use them and obey their controls. This rule concerns crossing the carriageway, not walking along every pedestrian route.
