You are driving in a busy town and see a pedestrian waiting at a pelican crossing. They press the button, and the traffic lights change to red while the steady green figure shows for them. How can you help protect the environment in this situation?

Explanation

At pelican crossings, you must stop when the red traffic signal shows and the steady green figure is displayed for pedestrians (Highway Code Rule 22). If you expect to be stationary for some time, switching off your engine can help reduce emissions and fuel use, supporting environmental responsibility. You must not try to rush through the crossing or move forward while pedestrians are crossing.
