Look carefully before you start reversing. You should
Reverse slowly while
Get someone to guide you if you cannot see clearly.
Do not reverse from a side road into a main road. When using a driveway, reverse in and drive out if you can.
Choose an appropriate place to manoeuvre. If you need to turn your vehicle around, wait until you find a safe place. Try not to reverse or turn round in a busy road; find a quiet side road or drive round a block of side streets.
Toucan, puffin and equestrian crossings. These are similar to pelican crossings, but there is no flashing amber phase; the light sequence for traffic at these three crossings is the same as at traffic lights. If the signal-controlled crossing is not working, proceed with extreme caution. Do not enter the crossing if you are unable to completely clear it, to avoid obstructing pedestrians, cyclists or horse riders.
Give way to anyone still crossing after the signal for vehicles has changed to green. This advice applies to all crossings.
Pelican crossings which go straight across the road are one crossing, even when there is a central island. You MUST wait for pedestrians who are crossing from the other side of the island.

Pelican crossings. These are signal-controlled crossings where flashing amber follows the red ‘Stop’ light. You MUST stop when the red light shows. When the amber light is flashing, you MUST give way to any pedestrians on the crossing. If the amber light is flashing and there are no pedestrians on the crossing, you may proceed with caution.
Laws ZPPPCRGD regs 23 & 26, & RTRA sect 25(5)
Zebra and parallel crossings. As you approach a zebra crossing
A zebra crossing with a central island is two separate crossings (see Rules 19 and 20).
Parallel crossings are similar to zebra crossings, but include a cycle route alongside the black and white stripes.
As you approach a parallel crossing
A parallel crossing with a central island is two separate crossings (see Rules 19 and 20).
Allow pedestrians plenty of time to cross and do not harass them by revving your engine or edging forward.
