You are approaching a toucan crossing on a busy urban road. The traffic lights for vehicles are green, but several pedestrians and cyclists are waiting at the crossing and the pedestrian/cycle signal is still red. What should you do?

Explanation

According to the Highway Code, Rule 25, toucan crossings are light-controlled crossings that allow pedestrians and cyclists to share the crossing space and cross at the same time. They are push-button operated, and pedestrians and cyclists see the green signal together. Cyclists are permitted to ride across. While your signal for vehicles is green, you should still approach with caution, anticipating that the lights may change to allow both pedestrians and cyclists to cross. You must not assume permanent priority or use your horn to assert it. Option B correctly reflects the need to slow down and be prepared to stop, in line with safe vehicle control and the Highway Code.
