I wanted to know the law on pedestrian crossings. Do cars need to stop for people and cyclists?
I know that cyclists should probably dismount and walk their bicycle across the crossing; and shouldnt be cycling on the footpath. However I know of a few crossings in/by parks that have space for pedestrians and cyclists. Plus also thinking about kids/teenagers who seem to stick to footpaths; and some odd London road/bicycle path hybrid crossings.
From experience some drivers seem to even hestitate stopping for pedestrians let alone cyclists. Just feels some speed up when they see a cyclist crossing.
What's the law of the land?
