If there is a 'Green man' crossing as part of the traffic light system then use the rules and advice for using a 'Green man' crossing (see page 16).

If there are no pedestrian lights at the crossing, watch both the traffic lights and the traffic. Do not cross when the traffic lights allow traffic to go forward, even if you think you have enough time to cross. You should only cross when the traffic on the road you wish to cross is stopped by red light. Follow the Road Crossing Code. Look out for traffic turning into the road which you are crossing.

If traffic lights are not working, watch the traffic and follow the Road Crossing Code to cross the road with extreme caution.

Crossing North-west Railway (light rail)

Crossing roads in the North-west Railway areaLight rail vehicles can run at very high speed and are quiet. When crossing light rail tracks, use proper crossing places including footbridges, subways and 'Green man' crossings.

Certain sections of the tracks are laid along lightly trafficked roads where no proper crossing places are provided. Under such circumstance, you should follow the Road Crossing Code and exercise extra care when crossing the tracks.
