Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984: Section 17, The Motorways Traffic (England and Wales) Regulations 1982 Regulations 15(1)(b) & The Motorways Traffic (Scotland) Regulations 1995: Regulations 13 Crossing the road (rules 7 to 17) Rule 7 Pedestrians MUST NOT be on motorways or slip roads except in an emergency (see Rule 271 and Rule 275). People on the outside of large groups should also carry lights and wear reflective clothing.
At night, the look-out in front should show a white light and the one at the back a red light. Look-outs should be positioned at the front and back of the group, and they should wear fluorescent clothes in daylight and reflective clothes in the dark. Large groups of people walking together should use a pavement if available if one is not, they should keep to the left. When pushing a young child in a buggy, do not push the buggy into the road when checking to see if it is clear to cross, particularly from between parked vehicles. Strap very young children into push-chairs or use reins. When taking children out, keep between them and the traffic and hold their hands firmly. Young children should not be out alone on the pavement or road (see Rule 7).
#The pedestrian rules oct 1 drivers#
When it is dark, use reflective materials (eg armbands, sashes, waistcoats, jackets, footwear), which can be seen by drivers using headlights up to three times as far away as non-reflective materials.
Wear or carry something light-coloured, bright or fluorescent in poor daylight conditions. It may be safer to cross the road well before a sharp right-hand bend so that oncoming traffic has a better chance of seeing you.
