What is a courtesy crossing?

Possible answers:

• A. It's a crossing controlled by orange or yellow flashing lights
• B. It's a crossing at traffic lights where a green man symbol lets pedestrians know it's safe to cross
• C. It's a raised crossing in the road that you aren't required to stop for, but allows for a safer place to stop if pedestrians do want to cross

Correct answer:

• The correct answer is C

  Courtesy crossings are usually made of bricks or paving and are often raised above the level of the road. They are not official pedestrian crossings, but they do provide a place where drivers can stop safely to allow pedestrians to cross.
