At a pelican crossing, what does a flashing amber light mean?

  1. Accelerate and clear the crossing

  2. Give way to vehicles

  3. Give way to pedestrians already crossing

  4. Sound horn and proceed

The correct answer is: Give way to pedestrians already crossing

A flashing amber light at a pelican crossing means that vehicles should give way to any pedestrians who are already crossing the road. Option A is incorrect because accelerating and clearing the crossing could put pedestrians at risk. Option B is incorrect because vehicles are required to give way to pedestrians at a pelican crossing, regardless of a flashing amber light. Option D is incorrect because sounding the horn and proceeding could startle or endanger pedestrians who may not be able to see or hear the vehicle approaching.
