Living streets, pedestrian streets and similar zones
A walking-pace zone is marked by a blue sign showing people and a car. The rules: walking pace (about 7 km/h), give way to all pedestrians, park only in marked bays. The space is for people — cars are guests.
A pedestrian street is normally free of motor vehicles. Permitted only: access to your own property, deliveries to a business on the street, or with a special permit. Any other traffic = a violation, even if the street is empty.
You must yield to all traffic on the road you're entering, when leaving: a yard street, walking-pace zone, parking area, hard shoulder, a street ending at private land, or a petrol station. The sign isn't always visible — it's the act of exiting that triggers the rule.
In these areas you gain nothing by asserting your right. Slow down, seek eye contact, let people through. A second of patience is cheaper than a crash involving a child.
Walking pace means the speed of a normal adult on foot — around 5 to 7 km/h. Not 30. Many exam-takers answer 30 because that's the lowest speed-limit sign they know. That's wrong.
You're leaving a car park onto a main street. The street is empty as far as you can see. What do you do? Stop before crossing the pavement. Yield to cyclists and pedestrians on the pavement first. Then enter the street when traffic allows.
