If you could of been bothered to read part 2 of reg. 25 you would see that it states that a crossing with an refuge or central reservation is treated as separate crossings.
So, you're wrong, I'm right.
No, you are still wrong.
The central refuge is irrelevant in the context of the question asked.
The question was
To avoid being called out in future, what's generally accepted pedestrian crossing behavior? A HGV driver yelled at me this morning for going through one while a pedestrian was crossing, but they were still well in the opposite lane.
Am I pissing off pedestrians or is this ok? I'm aware that the law probably says 'stop', but I care more about being safe and courteous.
The law states that you must give way to the pedestrian on that crossing.
It does not state that you may not go over the crossing, which I inferred your answer "If there isn't [a central refuge] then you can't." is in response to.
Which is demonstrably wrong.
I'm more than happy for you to demonstrate which piece of legislation state otherwise though.
