You are cycling along a busy road and approach a zebra crossing where several pedestrians are waiting to cross. There is no separate cycle facility at the crossing. What is the safest and most legally correct action to take?

Explanation

Under Rule 81 of the Highway Code, cyclists must not ride across pedestrian or equestrian crossings, including zebra, pelican and puffin crossings. Where there is no dedicated cycle facility, you must dismount and wheel your cycle across. This ensures the safety of pedestrians and complies with the rules governing how different road users should use crossings.
