Hazard AwarenessDifficulty: 2/5

You are driving towards a toucan crossing. The traffic lights for vehicles are on green, but you see a cyclist and pedestrians waiting at the crossing, and the red signal is still showing for them. What should you do?

Explanation

At a toucan crossing, pedestrians and cyclists share the crossing space and see their green signal together. Cyclists are permitted to ride across, but only when their green signal shows. According to the Highway Code (Rule 82), drivers should obey the traffic lights for vehicles and must not encourage cyclists or pedestrians to cross against a red signal, as this creates a hazard. You should therefore continue in a controlled manner on your green, being prepared to stop if the lights change, but not signal to them to cross early.
