Pedestrian signal with a white walking person on a dark square

A pedestrian faces this signal. What does it let the pedestrian do?

  1. Cross with no risk from turning vehicles
  2. Start to cross the road, but turning vehicles may be in conflict
  3. Finish a crossing, but not start one
  4. Wait, because vehicles have the right of way
Show answer

Correct answer: Start to cross the road, but turning vehicles may be in conflict

The walking person lets a pedestrian start to cross. Turning vehicles can still conflict, so drivers must watch for pedestrians.
